Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 161

Prominent recommended standards to enable federation of identity in cloud environments include:

Answer options

• A. FIDO
• B. Kerberos
• C. SSO
• D. SAML
• E. X.509

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a widely recognized standard for enabling single sign-on and federated identity across cloud services. While FIDO, Kerberos, SSO, and X.509 are important in their respective areas, they do not specifically focus on identity federation in the same way that SAML does.
