Question

question 10 of 10
what are two reasons digital storage of data is more secure than analog storage?

a. digital data can be protected by a fingerprint or facial id.

b. access to digital data requires a stronger password.

c. digital data are easy to change with a computer program.

d. digital data can be encoded by a computer program.

Explanation:

• Option A: Biometric authentication (fingerprint/facial ID) is a secure, unique access control method exclusive to digital storage, enhancing security over analog.
• Option D: Encoding/encrypting digital data via computer programs scrambles information, making it unreadable to unauthorized users, a security feature not available for analog storage.
• Option B is incorrect because digital passwords do not inherently need to be "stronger" (weak passwords are common), and analog storage has no password system at all, so this is not a valid comparative reason.
• Option C is incorrect: Easy editability is a functional feature, not a security advantage for data storage.

Answer:

A. Digital data can be protected by a fingerprint or facial ID.
D. Digital data can be encoded by a computer program.
