CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1419
Which of the following satisfies a two-factor user authentication? A. Iris scanning plus fingerprint scanning B. Terminal ID plus global positioning system (GPS) C. A smart card requiring the user's PIN D. User ID along with password
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation:
A smart card addresses what the user has. This is generally used in conjunction with testing what the user knows, e.g., a keyboard password or personal identification number (PIN). Proving who the user is usually requires a biometrics method, such as fingerprint, iris scan or voice verification, to prove biology. This is not a two-factor user authentication, because it proves only who the user is. A global positioning system (GPS) receiver reports on where the user is. The use of an ID and password (what the user knows) is a single- factor user authentication.
