Which method is the most secure way of delivering FortiToken data once the token has been seeded?

AOnline activation of the tokens through the FortiGuard network

BShipment of the seed files on a CD using a tamper-evident envelope

CUsing the in-house token provisioning tool

DAutomatic token generation using FortiAuthenticator

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Online activation of the tokens through the FortiGuard network is the most secure way of delivering FortiToken data once the token has been seeded because it eliminates the risk of seed files being compromised during transit or storage. The other methods involve physical or manual delivery of seed files which can be intercepted, lost, or stolen.

I see your point. Option B seems to be the safest way to ensure data confidentiality.

True, but convenience should not compromise security. That's why I prefer option B as well.

But what about option D? Automatic token generation sounds convenient.

That's true, Shannan. And we all know how easy it is for physical media to get lost or damaged in transit.

Oooh, what about the automatic token generation using FortiAuthenticator? That sounds like the most hands-off and streamlined option. Plus, you know the folks at Fortinet have thought this through carefully.

Online activation? Really? I don't know, that sounds a bit sketchy to me. I'd feel more comfortable using the in-house token provisioning tool. At least that way, we have more control over the process.

I'm not so sure about that. Shipping physical media seems a bit outdated these days. I'd go with the online activation through the FortiGuard network. It's more convenient and probably just as secure, if not more so.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing our understanding of the different methods for delivering FortiToken data. I think the most secure option would be to use a tamper-evident envelope to ship the seed files on a CD. That way, you can be sure the data hasn't been tampered with during transit.
