About authentication and access control notes

GoConqr Original

Using authentication and access control notes

Start with Passwords and Authentication for its distinction between identification and authentication. Then read Access Control to follow the steps involved in authentication and authorisation. These notes offer a starting point before you move to a specific protocol or access control approach.

For a closer look at passwords, the listing includes notes on a dynamic password scheme and Password Attacks. The Kerberos notes cover principals and their roles. Identity and Access Services lists authorisation approaches, including discretionary and role-based access control.

Make the notes part of revision

Read one note and write down its key terms in your own words. Return to the text when you need to check a distinction, such as identification versus authentication. When you want to see ideas organised visually, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz there when you want to test your understanding. Pick a topic and open a note to begin.
