Welcome to another lecture on operating system security this time we'll examine the mechanisms of authentication
and authorization and talk about managing user accounts and resource access in a system
this module will teach you how to differentiate between authentication and authorization.
The two terms should not be confused with user identification.
We'll find out which types of passwords are secure and which are not and carefully examine the methods
for storing user passwords in Windows
remote user authentication protocols will be used will show you protocols used for proving identity
of remote computer users
will also tell you why one of the types of credentials stored by Windows cached credentials is not putting
system security at risk as the popular myth would tell you
the Kerberos protocol will be examined.
This is the safest protocol for authenticating users in Microsoft Windows networks
will also try to crack different kinds of passwords used by Windows users
and then we'll also try to give you an answer to the questions on authorization mechanisms such as What
is the difference between role based access control and discretionary access control
only the module will cover the purposes and applications of a new access control system introduced in
Windows Vista which was an implementation of the belt loop Adullam model.
See you in the training.
