The Three A's in Cybersecurity 🔐
Introduction to the Three A's 🛡️
Authentication: Verifying the identity of users or systems.
Authorization: Determining what actions or resources an authenticated user or system can access.
Accounting: Tracking and recording user activities and access levels.
Learning Objectives 🎯
Identify and Describe Authentication Services:
Understand various authentication methods and services commonly used in cybersecurity.
Choose Appropriate Methods of Authentication and Authorization:
Assess and select suitable authentication techniques and authorization mechanisms for different scenarios and organizational needs.
Grant Appropriate Access Levels:
Determine and assign the correct level of access for users based on their roles and responsibilities within an organization.
Additional Concepts 🔍
Pseudorandom Numbers:
Numbers that are not truly random but generated in a way that mimics randomness.
Entropy Pool:
A source of random data used to seed random number generators, ensuring the generation of truly random numbers for cryptographic purposes.
Random Number Generators:
Dedicated hardware or software components that generate random numbers, crucial for secure cryptographic key generation.
Understanding and implementing these principles helps in maintaining robust cybersecurity measures by ensuring proper identity verification, access control, and activity monitoring. 🌐🔒
