CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1070

Company has decided to require multifactor authentication for all systems. Which set of parameters meets the requirement?

Answer options

• A. personal 10-digit PIN and RSA certificate
• B. complex password and personal 10-digit PIN
• C. password of 8 to 15 characters and personal 12-digit PIN
• D. fingerprint scanning and facial recognition

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Answer A is correct as it combines something you know (the personal 10-digit PIN) with something you have (the RSA certificate), fulfilling the multifactor authentication requirement. Options B and C only include one factor related to knowledge (PIN or password) and do not provide a second factor. Option D, while it includes two biometric methods, does not meet the standard definitions of multifactor authentication involving different types of factors.
