ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

Under the NIST SP 800-63B Digital Identity Guidelines, organizations that wish to use biometric authentication must follow specific constraints. Which of the following statements correctly reflects those requirements?

  • Biometrics can serve as the sole factor for any authentication assurance level once the sensor meets a false-match rate of 1 in 10,000.

  • Biometrics may be used only as one factor in a multi-factor scheme that includes something you have, and users must be offered a non-biometric alternative.

  • Federal agencies are prohibited from employing biometrics for remote user authentication because biometric data is considered sensitive PII.

  • Once a biometric factor is deployed, organizations are not required to provide any alternative authentication mechanism unless the biometric system fails.
