An organization wants employees to use specialized hardware to verify who they are with minimal effort. Each member is assigned a digital ID that is checked during sign-in. Logging in relies on inserting a smart card into a workstation. Which solution best supports this requirement?
Adopt a method using cryptographic secrets embedded on the card
Implement a passcode used collectively across the workforce
Introduce a face scan tool that overlooks the card’s secret
Use a password policy that is synchronized across the workforce
When cryptographic secrets reside on the card, the system confirms both a card-based secret and the user’s assigned digital ID for strong verification. A shared or synchronized password does not engage the hardware’s cryptographic function. A passcode everyone uses lacks unique identification. A face scan option that overlooks the card’s secret ignores the digital ID carried on the card.
