Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 139

Which of the following provides a mechanism that allows an end-user to use a single sign-on (SSO) for multiple services?

Answer options

• A. The Open ID Federation.
• B. PCI Data Security Standards Council
• C. International Organization for Standardization.
• D. Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Open ID Federation is designed to facilitate single sign-on capabilities, allowing users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple services. In contrast, PCI Data Security Standards Council, International Organization for Standardization, and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act do not provide SSO mechanisms; they focus on security standards and regulations.
