CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 291

Employees must use a badge to enter and exit the building. Each time the badge is used, a log entry is created and stored to record who has entered and exited the building. Which of the following best describes what the log entries provide?

Answer options

• A. Automation
• B. Accounting
• C. Authorization
• D. Authentication

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The log entries confirm the identity of individuals accessing the building, which is the definition of authentication. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe the purpose of the log entries, as they refer to different concepts related to processes and controls rather than identity verification.
