A network administrator uses an RFID card to enter the datacenter, a key to open the server rack,
and a username and password to logon to a server. These are examples of which of the
following?
A.
Multifactor authentication
B.
Single factor authentication
C.
Separation of duties
D.
Identification
Explanation:
Single-factor authentication (SFA) is a process for securing access to a given system by
identifying the party requesting access via a single category of credentials. In this case, the
network administrator makes use of an RFID card to access the datacenter, a key to access the
server rack, and a username and password to access a server.
Wrong! The correct is A – MFA!

No it’s B. Think about it. Each method of authentication opens a different resource. If all the methods opened a single resource …say the door; then yes, it would be considered multifactor.

IF the question had said “These are EACH examples..” it would have been much clearer. B is correct but based on the way the question is worded, so is A…

I stick with A. The way the question is written, the network administrator had to sequentially do these steps to logon to the server, that is his final goal. He could not logon to the server using only one type of authentication.
