Carla recently designed an authentication system for a sensitive application. Users are prompted to enter a password and are granted access if they are located in the office and know the correct password. What combination of authentication factor and attribute is she using?
A. Something You Know & Something You Are
B. Something You Are & Somewhere You Are
C. Something You Know & Somewhere You Are
D. Someone You Know & Somewhere You Are
Correct Answer: C
The use of a password is the classic example of a “something you know” authentication factor. Carla is supplementing this with a requirement that users be located in the office, which adds a “somewhere you are” attribute. That leads us to our correct answer, something you know and somewhere you are.
