What is a hard token primarily used for in cybersecurity?
Creating backup copies of data
Storing encrypted files
Connecting to a wireless network securely
Generating a one-time password for authentication
A hard token is a physical device that generates a one-time password or a security code, which is then used for authentication in a multi-factor authentication (MFA) system. Unlike soft tokens, which are software-based and can be installed on devices, hard tokens provide an added layer of security because they cannot be easily replicated or accessed by malware. This distinguishes them from alternative options like SMS-based codes, which can be intercepted or compromised.
