200-301 Question 447
Select 3A network administrator is configuring access to a company's internal resources. They implement a system where users must authenticate using their credentials, the system checks if the user has the required permissions for the resource, and all access attempts are logged. Which concepts are being applied in this scenario?
- A
Authentication
- B
Authorization
- C
Accounting
- D
Encryption
- E
Routing
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
The scenario describes the implementation of AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) concepts. Authentication verifies the user's identity, authorization ensures they have appropriate access rights, and accounting tracks the user's activity. These three components are essential for secure access to networked resources.
- A. Correct.
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or device, which is described here as 'users must authenticate using their credentials.'
- B. Correct.
Authorization is the process of determining if a user has permission to access a resource, which is described as 'the system checks if the user has the required permissions.'
- C. Correct.
Accounting refers to tracking user actions, such as logging access attempts, which is clearly stated in the scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Encryption is not mentioned in the scenario. It is a method of securing data, not related to authentication, authorization, or accounting directly.
- E. Incorrect.
Routing is the process of directing data packets through a network, which is unrelated to the described scenario.
