Explanation

When Cisco ISE performs certificate-based authentication against Active Directory, it can use a binary comparison method. In this process, the certificate presented by the user or device during EAP-TLS authentication is compared byte-for-byte against the certificate stored in the user's Active Directory account attribute (userCertificate). This ensures the presented certificate exactly matches the trusted certificate on record in AD. Option A relates to Subject Alternative Name matching, not binary comparison. Options B and C describe password-hash or credential-based comparisons, not certificate binary comparison.
