Introduction to Access Control
• • Access control is the process by which
resources in a system are protected from
unauthorized access.
• • Ensures that only authorized individuals can
access certain information or perform specific
actions.
Types of Access Control
• 1. Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
• 2. Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
• 3. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• 4. Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
• 5. Rule-Based Access Control
Comparison of Access Control
Types
• • DAC: Flexible, owner-controlled access.
• • MAC: System-enforced, high-security
policies.
• • RBAC: Role-based, scalable for organizations.
• • ABAC: Attribute-based, granular control.
• • Rule-Based: Specific conditions for access.
Authentication Methods
• • Something You Know: Passwords, PINs
• • Something You Have: Smartcards, Tokens
• • Something You Are: Biometrics
Authentication vs. Authorization
• • Authentication: Verifying the identity of a
user.
• • Authorization: Determining what a user is
allowed to do.
• • Example: Logging in vs. accessing a
restricted file.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• • Combining two or more authentication
methods.
• • Example: Password + Biometric Scan.
Common Access Control Protocols
• • OAuth: Token-based access delegation.
• • SAML: Single Sign-On protocol.
• • LDAP: Directory service protocol.
• • Kerberos: Network authentication.
Challenges in Access Control
• • Complexity in large organizations.
• • Insider threats and misuse of access.
• • Managing permissions and security.
Best Practices
• • Review access control policies regularly.
• • Implement the principle of least privilege.
• • Use Multi-Factor Authentication.
• • Monitor and audit access control systems.
Conclusion
• • Importance of selecting the right access
control model.
• • Balancing security and usability.
• • Continuous monitoring is essential.
