Which of the following best describes an access control process that confirms the identity of the entity seeking access to a logical or physical area?
Which of the following best describes an access control process that confirms the identity of the entity seeking access to a logical or physical area?
The process that confirms the identity of the entity seeking access is called authentication. Authentication is the method used to verify a claimed identity, ensuring that the user, device, or process requesting access is who or what it claims to be. This is distinct from authorization, which involves determining what an authenticated entity is permitted to do.
The answer is "C" . Authentication is the process of confirming a claimed Identity . Authorization is the process of granting access according to the identity.
AUTHENTICATION: confirms who we are... AUTHORIZATION: grant access or not after AUTHENTICATION process has finished
It’s C Authentication
Access control process is after Authentication process has successful finished. I understand the question as what is the Access control, so after me, the answer is Authorization, meaning "B"
the correct answer should be C - Authentication
The question saying that access control process that confirms the identiy to a logical or physical location area. I think the answer is A.
Please discard my previous answer. The correct answer is C.
Answer is C.
Authentication is the process of confirming a claimed Identity
of course, AUTHENTICATION,=process of confirming identity is called AUTHENTICATION
Athentication
Confirmation = Authentication
identity is confirmed by authentication
