CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 52

Which of the following is an XML-based security concept that works by passing sensitive information about users, such as log-in information and attributes, to providers?

Answer options

• A. IAM
• B. MFA
• C. RADIUS
• D. SAML

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is specifically designed for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, making it the correct answer. IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a broader concept, while MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) serve different purposes in security and do not focus on XML-based information exchange.
