Explanation
USB hardware security tokens (such as RSA SecurID tokens or FIDO2 keys like YubiKey) are physical devices that plug into a USB port and are used as the 'something you have' factor in multi-factor authentication. They store cryptographic keys or generate one-time passwords, making them hardware-based authentication devices. Database encryption protects stored data, not user authentication. Whole disk encryption (e.g., BitLocker) protects data at rest on a drive. A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware chip used for system integrity and disk encryption key storage, but it is bound to the system itself and is not typically carried by users as an MFA factor.
