Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited w User Identity Management (IDIM) Identification deals with confirming the identity of a user, process, or device accessing the network. User identification is the most commonly used technique for authenticating the users in the network and applications. Users have a unique user ID which helps in their identification. Identify Management involves storing and managing user attributes in their repositories. Here, the user repository is a database where attributes related to the users' identities are stored. The authentication process includes verifying a user ID and a password. Users are required to provide both the credentials in order to gain access to the network. The network administrators provide access controls such as the username, account number, etc. and permissions to various other services depending on the user IDs.

User Access Management (AM): User Authentication Authentication involves verifying the credentials provided by a user while attempting to connect to a network. Both wired and wireless networks authenticate users before allowing them to access the resources in the network. A typical user authentication scheme consists of a user ID and a password. Other forms of authentication include the authentication of a website using a digital certificate and the comparison of the product and label associated with it.

Certified Cybersecurity Technician Exam 212-82 Identification, Authentication, and Authorization User provides UID:2001 & Pwd: $5$ Authentication System User Verifies user credentials with hashed credentials Figure 4.10: User authentication Factors Factors refer to the ways in which users can verify their identity during the authentication process. The factors associated with the process of authentication are as follows. = Something you know: Something you know is also known as the knowledge factor. The user should know information such as username and password when attempting to log into a system or network. Other examples of this factor include personal identification numbers (PINs), swipe patterns on touchscreen devices, and challenge questions during the account reset process. = Something you have: Something you have is also known as the owner factor or hard tokens. The user should hold information such as a one-time password token, USB fob, employee ID cards, and account number when attempting to log into a system or network. = Something you are: Something you are is also known as the biometric factor. The user should use their biometric characteristics such as voice, retina scan, and fingerprint scan when attempting to log into a system or network. Attributes A user can be identified using a collection of attributes supported in authentication. Some of the attributes are as follows. = Somewhere you are: Somewhere you are is also known as location-based authentication. It refers to the physical location of the user that can be used for authentication. It is also used to block access if the location does not match. This attribute includes geo-location and IP address. = Something you do: Something you do is also known as behavioral characteristics. It refers to the actions that a user must perform to gain access. This attribute includes gestures or touch inputs. = Something you exhibit: Something you exhibit is also known as behavioral-based authentication and authorization. It refers to a device or an object that the user must exhibit in order to authenticate themselves. For example, a legitimate user can be identified based on the normal behavioral pattern of a user on a device; if it deviates, the device will be locked out, and the user must attempt reauthentication.

Certified Cybersecurity Technician Exam 212-82 Identification, Authentication, and Authorization Someone you know: Someone you know relies on the web-of-trust model. It refers to authentication through peer-level certification and reputation networks, which depends on the reliance of humans on one another. It can be used when primary factors such as passwords and hardware tokens are unavailable. The commonly used authentication methods are as follows: Password Authentication Smart Card Authentication Biometric Authentication Two-factor Authentication Single Sign-on (SSO) Authentication Module 04 Page 473 Certified Cybersecurity Technician Copyright © by EG-Council All Rights Reserved.
