What is the most common single sign-on mechanism used over the Internet?

  1. Role-based access control

  2. User-based access control

  3. Least privilege access

  4. Open ID

The correct answer is: Open ID

OpenID is the most common single sign-on mechanism used over the Internet. OpenID allows users to log in to different websites using a single digital identity. This eliminates the need for multiple usernames and passwords, providing convenience and security for users. Option A, role-based access control, is a method of restricting network access based on a person's role within an organization. Option B, user-based access control, is similar to role-based access control but focuses on individual users rather than their roles. Option C, least privilege access, is a security concept where users are granted the minimum level of access necessary to perform their job functions. These options are not related to single sign-on mechanisms like OpenID.
