following is being described?
A.
Trusted OS
B.
Mandatory access control
C.
Separation of duties
D.
Single sign-on
Explanation:
Single sign-on means that once a user (or other subject) is authenticated into a realm, re- authentication is not required for access to resources on any realm entity.
The question states that when Ann logs into her banking websites she has access to her financial institution mortgage, credit card, and brokerage websites as well.
This describes an SSO scenario.
