CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 48

Which of the following uses SAML for authentication?

Answer options

• A. TOTP
• B. Federation
• C. Kerberos
• D. HOTP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Federation is the correct answer because it utilizes SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) to enable single sign-on (SSO) across multiple domains. TOTP, Kerberos, and HOTP are authentication methods that do not rely on SAML for their authentication processes.
