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.
