You are troubleshooting login at a computer that uses a smart card for authentication.
What response should you see from the computer when you insert the smart card in the reader?
1. >>The computer should finish logging in to the network.
2. The computer should prompt for a user name.
3. The computer should prompt you to remove the smart card.
4. The computer should prompt for a password or personal identification number (PIN).
Explanation : The computer should prompt you for a password or PIN. Smart cards use a two-form authentication. The first part of the authentication is the smart card itself. You must also provide either a password or PIN, depending on the specific smart card and software.
The computer should not prompt you to remove the smart card. When using a smart card for authentication, you lock the computer by removing the smart card.
The computer should not finish logging in to the network The computer should not complete the logon process until you provide a password or PIN.
The computer should not prompt for a user name. The smart card is used instead of a user name for authentication.

Security: Biometrics, Hardware Devices
What is the most common type of biometric security?
1. Fob
2. Fingerprint scanner-->>Correct
3. User name and password
4. >>Smart card
Explanation : A fingerprint scanner is the most common example of biometric security. Biometric security identifies a user by a biological trait. Biometric devices include devices such as fingerprint scanners, retinal scanners, and voice recognition devices. Of these, a fingerprint scanner is the most common.
User name and password is not an example of biometric security. However, user name and password is the most commonly used network authentication method.
A smart card and reader is not an example of a biometric security device, but it is an example of security hardware. To use a smart card, the user inserts the smart card into a reader and then supplies a password or personal identification number (PIN) when prompted.
A fob is not an example of a biometric security device, but it is an example of security hardware. The fob automatically generates a number that is used for authentication. The user might or might not also be required to provide a user name and password.
