Which of the following is the most secure means of authentication?

  1. Password
  2. Certificate
  3. Token
  4. Pre-shared secret

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Certificate is the most secure means of authentication among the given options2. A certificate is a digital document that contains information about the identity of a user or a device, and is signed by a trusted authority. A certificate can be used to prove the identity of a user or a device without revealing any sensitive information, such as passwords or tokens. Password, token, and pre-shared secret are less secure means of authentication because they can be easily compromised, stolen, or guessed by attackers.
