Making sure the User ID is correct

Typing in a correct password

Confirming location, regardless of the country you are in

The movement of your hands when they type on a keyboard 

Answering a tough math problem

1 / 1 point

Fraudulent use of websites

Spoofing an identity

Breaking into a company’s security
system

All of the above

Correct

1 / 1 point

They work better than passwords

They work better than one-time passwords 

They require buying and administering physical
entities
 

They are simpler to use than software

None of the above

Correct

Correct! Hardware authenticators require that physical entities (the hardware tokens) be purchased and administered.

Question 6

The RSA SecureID protocol implements which of the following?

1 / 1 point

Location information

Cryptanalysis

Internet filtering

LAN surveillance

One-time password

Correct

Correct! The protocol specifically creates a one-time password for use as a second factor in authentication.

RSA SecureID cryptanalysis requires which of the following methods?

1 / 1 point

Known plaintext   

Chosen plaintext

Ciphertext only

All of the above

Correct

Correct! No hints are included in the RSA SecureID protocol for intruders so it is ciphertext only.
