What type of access control synchronizes with the authentication service by using time or a count as the core piece of the authentication process?
  1. Traffic Anomaly-based IDS
  2. Asynchronous Token
  3. Synchronous Token Device
  4. Cryptographic Keys
Explanation
Answer: C - A synchronous token device synchronizes with the authentication service by using time or a count as the core piece of the authentication process. If the synchronization is time-based, the token device and the authentication service must hold the same time within their internal clocks. The time value on the token device and a secret key are used to create the one-time password, which is displayed to the user.
