Study Notes

  • Digital certification collects data to find an identity for a key pair.
  • Virtual Smart Cards emulate smart cards using a Trusted Platform Module to protect the private key.
  • A domain is a collection of user and computer accounts grouped together, enabling centralized management and security application.
  • Workgroups maintain security through the Security Account Manager (SAM).
  • SAM contains user accounts and their associated passwords.
  • Kerberos V5 is a network authentication protocol that defines how clients interact with a network authentication service.
  • Credential Manager stores credentials used to log into websites or other computers on a network.
  • Fine-grained password policies allow assignment of different policies to different groups or individual users.
  • Device Registration Service (DRS) registers non-domain devices in Active Directory and installs certification on the device.
