Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) — Question 41

Smart cards use which protocol to transfer the certificate in a secure manner?

Answer options

• A. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
• B. Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
• C. Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
• D. Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is specifically designed for secure authentication and is commonly used with smart cards to transfer certificates safely. The other options, such as PPP, PPTP, and L2TP, serve different purposes related to tunneling and networking but do not directly address certificate transfer in the context of smart cards.
