Which of the following statements about basic authentication is true?

Choose the correct answer.

As long as the password is strong enough, basic authentication provides the same level of security as certificate-based authentication does.

What are the advantages of using client certificates for authentication?

There are two correct answers.

Client certificates provide strong security, because they force users to use strong passwords.

Client certificates provide strong security, because no secret is transferred over the network.
