Why each option

Common types of Single Sign-On (SSO) systems include Kerberos, KryptoKnight, and SESAME, which are different protocols or architectures designed to achieve single sign-on.

AKryptoKnightCorrect

KryptoKnight is an older, but valid, single sign-on protocol developed by IBM.

BKerberosCorrect

Kerberos is a widely used network authentication protocol that provides single sign-on capabilities for client-server applications.

CClipper

Clipper chip was a controversial encryption chip proposed by the US government, not an SSO type.

DSESAMECorrect

SESAME (Secure European System for Applications in a Multi-vendor Environment) is an SSO framework that built upon Kerberos principles but added enhancements.

EDES

DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric-key algorithm for data encryption, not an SSO type or system.
