Actual exam question from ISC's CCSP
Question #: 362
Topic #: 1
[All CCSP Questions]

Which of the following provides assurance, to a predetermined acceptable level of certainty, that an entity is indeed who they claim to be?

  • A. Authentication
  • B. Identification
  • C. Proofing
  • D. Authorization
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Authentication goes a step further than identification by providing a means for proving an entity's identification. Authentication is most commonly done through mechanisms such as passwords. Identification involves ascertaining who the entity is, but without a means of proving it, such as a name or user ID. Authorization occurs after authentication and sets access permissions and other privileges within a system or application for the user. Proofing is not a term that is relevant to the question.
