    Which of the following is an example of valid authentication factors?

    • PIN and password 

    • Smart card and proximity tag

    • Thumb print and retinal scan

    • Facial recognition and PIN

    Correct Answer
    A. Facial recognition and PIN
    Explanation
    Facial recognition and PIN are examples of valid authentication factors because they combine something the user knows (the PIN) with something the user is (their facial features). This multi-factor authentication approach enhances security by requiring the user to provide both a physical characteristic (facial recognition) and a secret code (PIN) to verify their identity. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access to the system or data.

    • Pre-shared key

    • Client certificate 

    • Recognized MAC address

    • User name and password

    Correct Answer
    A. Pre-shared key
    Explanation
    To connect to an access point secured with WPA2-Personal, a client needs a pre-shared key. This key is a password that both the access point and client devices must have in order to establish a secure connection. The pre-shared key ensures that only authorized clients can connect to the network, as they need to provide the correct key. It acts as a shared secret between the access point and the client, allowing them to authenticate and encrypt their communication.
