Question 9

Authentication process can be based on various categories of authentication factors and attributes. Authentication factors include unique physical traits of each individual such as fingerprints (“something you are”), physical tokens such as smart cards (“something you have”), or usernames and passwords (“something you know”). The categories of authentication attributes include geolocation (“somewhere you are”), user-specific activity patterns, such as keyboard typing style (“something you can do”), revealing something about an individual, e.g., wearing an ID badge (“something you exhibit”), or proving the relation with a trusted third party (“someone you know”). Multifactor authentication systems require implementation of authentication factors from two or more distinct categories.
