312-50V10 · Question #516

Which of the following is designed to verify and authenticate individuals taking part in a data exchange within an enterprise?

The correct answer is C. PKI. PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) provides the framework of digital certificates, certificate authorities, and cryptographic keys used to verify and authenticate the identities of parties involved in enterprise data exchanges.

Why each option

PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) provides the framework of digital certificates, certificate authorities, and cryptographic keys used to verify and authenticate the identities of parties involved in enterprise data exchanges.

ASOA

SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is a software design paradigm for structuring application services and does not perform identity verification or authentication.

BSingle-Sign On

Single Sign-On simplifies access by allowing one set of credentials to authenticate across multiple systems but does not inherently verify or authenticate identities during a data exchange using cryptographic certificates.

CPKICorrect

PKI uses asymmetric cryptography and a chain of trust anchored by Certificate Authorities (CAs) to issue digital certificates that bind a public key to a verified identity. When two parties exchange data, their certificates allow each side to authenticate the other's identity cryptographically before and during the exchange. This makes PKI the purpose-built solution for identity verification and authentication within enterprise communication and data exchange scenarios.

DBiometrics

Biometrics authenticates a physical person at a local device using biological traits but is not designed to verify and authenticate parties participating in a networked enterprise data exchange.
