Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three types of authentication used for access control are something you have (e.g. token or key card), something you know (e.g. password), and something you are (e.g. biometrics). This is commonly referred to as the "triad of authentication" and is considered the best choice for access control as it provides multiple layers of security. Option A is partially correct, but it only lists three specific examples of the "triad of authentication." Options C and D are incorrect as they list encryption, hashes, and signatures which are not authentication methods.
