Rainbow tables

A rainbow table is a file of pre-generated hash values and their associated plaintext. They’re like dictionaries of weak passwords. Attackers capable of obtaining an organization’s password database can use a rainbow table to compare them against all possible values.

Identity and access management (IAM)

Identity and access management (IAM) is a collection of processes and technologies that helps organizations manage digital identities in their environment. Both AAA and IAM systems are designed to authenticate users, determine their access privileges, and track their activities within a system.

Authenticating users

Authentication is mainly verified with login credentials. Single sign-on (SSO), a technology that combines several different logins into one, and multi-factor authentication (MFA), a security measure that requires a user to verify their identity in two or more ways to access a system or network, are other tools that organizations use to authenticate individuals and systems.

Pro tip: Another way to remember this authentication model is: something you know, something you have, and something you are.
