Which authentication system is an open standard originally proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)?

Answer Options

A

RADIUS

B

TACACS+

C

Kerberos

D

LDAP

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) was originally proposed by the IETF and became an open standard for authentication, often used with 802.1X. TACACS+ is a standard that was originally developed by Cisco. Kerberos is an authentication protocol used for Active Directory authentication and was originally created by MIT. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is not an authentication protocol; it is a helper protocol used by authentication protocols to look up objects.
