Multifactor authentication

“

If you aren't familiar, it'd be a good idea to go up to, let's say, Google Images or Bing Images and just search for MFA tokens. And you'll see a wide variety of different types of solutions from different companies, different types of tokens, smart cards, time-based, one-time password cards. And on the exam, it won't be necessary to answer any questions about particular vendors' products or anything like that. Just be familiar with an overall broad offering of two-factor and multi-factor authentication. Now we're talking here more about tokens and smart cards and those types of things. Biometrics is a whole separate topic altogether, but remember that biometrics is one of your primary method for multi-factor authentication today.
