He is currently using a fingerprint scan. Which one of the following would be the best second authentication technique to use in combination with the fingerprint scan? A. ID card B. Retinal scan C. Security questions D. Voiceprint analysis Correct Answer: A. Retinal scans and voiceprint analysis are both examples of biometric controls and, when used in combination with a fingerprint scan, would not constitute multifactor authentication. Security questions are a knowledge-based factor but would be difficult to implement for physical access and are generally not a very secure authentication technique due to the ease of a third party discovering correct answers in many cases. ID cards are a "something you have" factor and would be an ideal pairing for the fingerprint scan. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
