Why each option
The Crossover Error Rate (CER) is a key metric used to evaluate the overall accuracy and performance of biometric authentication systems.
CER specifically measures the point where the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) of a biometric system are equal, providing a balanced indicator of its effectiveness.
Tokens are physical or digital devices used for authentication and do not have performance metrics like CER, which is specific to biometric matching.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses tickets, and its performance is measured by factors like latency or throughput, not error rates related to biometric scans.
While a fingerprint scan is a biometric method, 'Biometrics' (choice A) is the broader and more accurate category for which CER is a general performance measure.
Discretionary access control (DAC) is an authorization model where resource owners control access, and its performance is not evaluated using biometric error rates.
