Answer 1

1.Name at least seven access control types.

Answer :-

Seven Access Control types are :

1. Attribute Based Access Control(ABAC)

2. History-Based Access Control(HBAC)

3. Discretionary Access Control(DAC)

4. Identity-Based Access Control(IBAC)

5. Mandatory Access Control(MAC)

6. Role-Based Access Control(RBAC)

7. Rule-Based Access Control(RBAC).

Some additional access control types are – Organization-Based Access Control(OrBac), Responsibility Based Access Control(RBAC).

2.Describe the three primary authentication factor types.

Answer :-

There are three common factors used for authentication.

Those are -

1. Knowledge Factor : Something you know(for example a password)

2. Possession Factor : Something you have(for example a smart card)

3. Inherence Factor : Something you are(for example a fingerprint or some sort of biometric method).

Identification occurs when a user claims openly his identity(for example with a username) , and Authentication occurs when users prove their Identity.

3. Name the method that allows users to log on once and access resources in multiple organizations without authenticating again.

Answer :-

Access Control Service or Windows Azure Access Control Service(ACS) is a Microsoft owned cloud-based service that provides an easy way of authenticating and authorising users to gain access to web applications and services while allowing the features of authentication and authorisation to be factored out of the application code. This facilitates application development while at the same time providing users the benefit of being able to log on into multiple applications with a reduced number of authentications, and in some cases only one authentication.

4. Identify the three primary elements within the identity and access provisioning life cycle.

Answer :-

The three primary elements within the identity and access provisioning life cycle are :

1. Provisioning :

Provisioning refers to creating accounts and granting them access to resources.

2. Review :

Accounts should be reviewed periodically to ensure that company policies are being followed.

3.Revocation :

Revocation of account access is a concept that most people understand, yet it is often not followed in practice.
