Identification is:
A.
Auser providing a shared secret to the system.
B.
Auser professing an identity to the system.
C.
Auser providing a password to the system.
D.
Auser being authenticated by the system.
Explanation:
The correct answer is “Auser professing an identity to the system”. A user presents an ID to the
system as identification. Answer a is incorrect because presenting an ID is not an authentication act.
Answer “Auser providing a password to the system” is incorrect because a password is an
authentication mechanism. Answer “Auser providing a shared secret to the system” is incorrect
because it refers to cryptography or authentication.
