I'm with the group on this one. The AAA Triad has been drilled into our heads during the training, so there's no way I'm falling for that 'Asymmetry' trick. Gotta love the classic Information Security mind games!

I agree, it's definitely Authentication, Availability, and Accounting.

D) 1, 3 and 5 seems like the obvious choice, but I guess the exam writers wanted to throw us off with that 'Asymmetry' option. Nice try, but I'm sticking with A).

Haha, I almost chose C) 1, 3 and 4. Asymmetry? Really? What's next, the ABCD Triad? Good thing I double-checked the correct answer.

I agree with Valentin. Authentication, Availability, and Accounting are the three characteristics that form the AAA Triad. Asymmetry and Authorization are not part of it.

The answer is clearly A) 1, 2 and 3. The AAA Triad stands for Authentication, Authorization, and Availability, which are the core principles of information security.
