CISSP Question #1132: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is D: It transmits unique serial numbers wirelessly.. RFID assists with asset management by embedding tags on physical assets that wirelessly transmit unique identifying information to readers, enabling automated tracking and inventory without line-of-sight scanning.
Question
How does Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) assist with asset management?
Options
- AIt uses biometric information for system identification.
- BIt uses two-factor authentication (2FA) for system identification.
- CIt transmits unique Media Access Control (MAC) addresses wirelessly.
- DIt transmits unique serial numbers wirelessly.
Explanation
RFID assists with asset management by embedding tags on physical assets that wirelessly transmit unique identifying information to readers, enabling automated tracking and inventory without line-of-sight scanning.
Common mistakes.
- A. Biometric information (fingerprints, retinal scans, etc.) is used for authenticating individuals, not for identifying and tracking physical assets in inventory management.
- B. Two-factor authentication is an access control mechanism requiring two forms of identity verification for user login, and has no role in the passive wireless identification of physical assets.
- C. MAC addresses are hardware identifiers assigned to network interface cards for Layer 2 network communication; RFID technology does not transmit MAC addresses, and RFID tags are not network interface devices.
Concept tested. RFID technology role in asset tracking
