ECCouncil 712-50 Question Answer
A key cybersecurity feature of a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) Card is:
Inability to export the private certificate/key
It can double as physical identification at the DMV
It has the user’s photograph to help ID them
It can be used as a secure flash drive
Key Cybersecurity Feature of a PIV Card:
The PIV card securely stores a private key that cannot be exported, ensuring it is only used within the card itself.
This prevents unauthorized access or duplication of sensitive cryptographic credentials.
Why Not Other Options:

C: A photograph helps with physical identification, but it is not a cybersecurity feature.
D: PIV cards are not designed to function as secure flash drives.
