In today’s digital world, securing access and ensuring accountability is non-negotiable. That’s where the AAA Framework comes in:
✅ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – “𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂?”
• Verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access.
• Uses credentials (username, password, certificates).
• Ensures only legitimate users can connect.
💡 Think of Authentication as showing your ID before entering a secure building.
✅ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼?”
• Determines what actions/resources a user can access after authentication.
• Defines and enforces permissions.
• Keeps users within their allowed boundaries.
💡 Authorization is like your access badge – it decides which rooms you can enter.
✅ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 – “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼?”
• Tracks and records user activity.
• Logs session time, commands executed, and resources used.
• Supports auditing, compliance, and billing.
💡 Accounting is like CCTV cameras recording everything inside the building.
