Read up on AAAA
- nathan-wailes 3y agoThank you for the tip! I tried Googling the term but I didn't see anything jumping out at me as being a good resource to read up on it; do you have particular things you'd recommend?
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoAAA seems to be more common today. Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. (Including Audit in Accounting.)
- nathan-wailes 3y agoThank you! Is there a particular book / article / video you recommend? Researching these things can be a nightmare so I find it helpful to ask for recommendations.
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoThis is more or less industry standard for some decades. You may try ChatGPT to guide you.
- msla 3y agoOr don't use ChatGPT and avoid going off on a tangent when it hallucinates something.
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoOne may ask for sources... And the original Q in this case is so simple that even ChatGPT can easily answer it. It is not like there is room for opinions. It is basic CS projected on well known techs.
- msla 3y ago> One may ask for sources... I know of a lawyer who did that. Didn't end well.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoI come to this site to read opinions about things I do not know. Not for a variation of, "Google it"
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoI do not care about you or why you are here. The answer points to a source that have the correct answer to a very basic question. I have no obligations to you or your hubris. You millennials are really something else. How you even manage to tie your own shoelaces amazes me. When I was a kid the fundamental crime in knowledge was to actually just tell all the answers. You are whining about a meta discussion on a topic where the original answer should have been just fking Google it.
- cratermoon 3y agoOr try IAM: Identity and Access Management
- nathan-wailes 3y agoI've heard that in the context of AWS, but I'm still not familiar with it. Do you recommend any articles in particular that give a good (brief) introduction to it?
- pan69 3y agoMaybe this Wikipedia page might get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute-based_access_control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute-based_access_control
- nathan-wailes 3y agoThank you!
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoI don't think you want ABAC. ABAC is for the cases when a set of attributes will grant access. The more common thing is RBAC. RBAC is that a user have been assigned some roles that comes with access. A good example with ABAC is if person X uses an IPhone with the latest major updates then access to some wi-fi is granted. Also, roles comes with a hierarchy. This is important when you work with SOX controlled companies. Several security consultants will try to sell ABAC as a necessity along with RBAC. It is for sure not.
- cratermoon 3y agoA good backgrounder would be The Laws of Identity https://www.identityblog.com/stories/2005/05/13/TheLawsOfIdentity.pdf https://www.identityblog.com/stories/2005/05/13/TheLawsOfIde...
