Step 1
This is more secure than single-factor authentication (like just a password) because it requires an attacker to compromise multiple factors. Show more…

Which of the following types of authentication methods would use regular identification (ID) cards, smart ID cards, and tokens to authenticate that someone is an authorized personnel? 1) Something the user is 2) Something the user has 3) Something the user does 4) Something the user knows At the information, network, and system level, what type of security technology identifies and stops access based on an unusual pattern of behavior? Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) Firewalls Two-factor Authentication Proxy servers What security risk management term means the method or technique a hacker uses to compromise a system?

Discuss the algebra of authentication: Assume a situation with two-factor authentication and call the factors A and B. Considering the four cases in which each is either strong or weak, what conclusion can you draw about the result: weak A + weak B = ?, weak A + strong B = ?, etc. Does order matter, for example, is weak A + strong B = strong A + weak B? Does it matter if the two factors are of the same type, for example, two things you know? What happens if you add a third factor C? This question does not have a single right answer. You should base your discussion on analysis of examples.

The team is concerned about understanding the difference between an authenticated and unauthenticated attack. They have asked you to describe what each one of them is and to provide examples of each. Prepare a report for your peers that describes the following: The definition and at least 2 examples if an unauthenticated attack. The definition and at least 2 examples if an authenticated attack.
