CCSK · Question #95

Of the choices below which option allows for the most interoperability in security authentication in a cloud environment?

The correct answer is B. SAML. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is the industry-standard XML-based protocol specifically designed for federated identity and cross-domain authentication interoperability in cloud environments.

Why each option

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is the industry-standard XML-based protocol specifically designed for federated identity and cross-domain authentication interoperability in cloud environments.

AXHTML

XHTML is a web markup language used for structuring content and has no role in security authentication.

BSAMLCorrect

SAML is an open standard developed by OASIS that enables identity federation by allowing identity providers and service providers to exchange authentication and authorization data across different security domains. It is widely adopted in cloud SSO solutions and supports interoperability between heterogeneous systems through XML-based assertions. Its design specifically addresses the need for trusted authentication across organizational and cloud provider boundaries.

CSCORM

SCORM is an e-learning content standard unrelated to authentication or security protocols.

DWEP

WEP is a deprecated and insecure wireless encryption protocol, not an authentication interoperability standard for cloud environments.

EWPA or WPA2

WPA and WPA2 are wireless network security protocols for Wi-Fi encryption and do not address cloud authentication interoperability.
