D.

Smart card and password authentication

Answers
D.

Smart card and password authentication

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

In the scenario described, Finch implemented a combination ofbiometric authentication(retina scan) andpassword authentication(unique six-digit code). Biometric authentication relies on unique physical or behavioral characteristics (such as retina scans) to verify identity, while password authentication requires users to enter a secret code (the six-digit code in this case).Combining these two mechanisms enhances security by requiring both something the user knows (password) and something the user is (biometric) for access.Reference: EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) documents and study guide12.
