Lesson 8 Implementing Identity and Account Management Controls Flashcards

1
Q

How does single-sign-on work?

A

the user authenticates to an identity provider (IdP) and receives a cryptographic token. The user can present that token to compatible applications as proof they are authenticated, and receive authorizations from the application.

Q

What is a SSH Host key pair

A

Identifies an SSH server. he server reveals the public part when a client connects to it. The client must use some means of determining the validity of this public key. If accepted, the key pair is used to encrypt the network connection and start a session.

Q

What is a SSH user key pair

A

a means for a client to login to an SSH server. The server stores a copy of the client’s public key. The client uses the linked private key to generate an authentication request and sends the request (not the private key) to the server. The server can only validate this request if the correct public key is held for that client.

Q

What is usage auditing?

A

Configuring the security log to record key indicators and then reviewing the logs for suspicious activity

17
Q

What are some categories of Usage audits

A 
Account logon and management events
Process creation
Object access (file system/file share)
Changes to audit policy
Changes to system security and integrity (antivirus, host firewall, and so on)
18
Q

What is Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

A

Access control model where each resource is protected by an Access Control List (ACL) managed by the resource’s owner (or owners).

19
Q

What is Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

A

An access control model where resources are protected by ACLs that are managed by administrators and that provide user permissions based on job functions.

20
Q

What is Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

A

Access control model where resources are protected by inflexible, system-defined rules. Resources (objects) and users (subjects) are allocated a clearance level (or label).

21
Q

What is Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC)

A

An access control technique that evaluates a set of attributes that each subject possesses to determine if access should be granted.

22
Q

What is Rule-based access control

A

A non-discretionary access control technique that is based on a set of operational rules or restrictions to enforce a least privileges permissions policy.

23
Q

What are three types of rule-based / non discretionary access controls

A

ABAC, MAC, and RBAC

24
Q

What is Conditional access and how does it work

A

An example of rule-based access control. Monitors account or device behavior throughout a session

25
Q

What is Privileged access management (PAM)

A

Policies, procedures, and support software for managing accounts and credentials with administrative permissions.

26
Q

What is Directory Services

A

A network service that stores identity information about all the objects in a particular network, including users, groups, servers, client computers, and printers.

27
Q

What is a Distinguished Name (DN)

A

A unique identifier for any given resource within an X.500-like directory

28
Q

What is Federation?

A

A process that provides a shared login capability across multiple systems and enterprises. It essentially connects the identity management services of multiple systems.

29
Q

What are the steps of federated identity management process?

A
  1. The user attempts to access a service provider (SP), The service provider redirects the principal to the Identity Provider (IDP) to authenticate
  2. The principal authenticates with the identity provider and obtains an attestation of identity, in the form of some sort of token or document signed by the IDP.
  3. The principal presents the attestation to the service provider. The SP can validate that the IdP has signed the attestation because of its trust relationship with the IdP
  4. The service provider can now connect the authenticated principal to its own accounts database. It may be able to query attributes of the user account profile held by the IdP, if the principal has authorized this type of access.
30
Q

What is Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

A

An XML-based data format used to exchange authentication information between a client and a service

31
Q

What is Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

A

An XML-based web services protocol that is used to exchange messages.

32
Q

What is Open Authorization (OAuth) Protocol?

A

Standard for federated identity management, allowing resource servers or consumer sites to work with user accounts created and managed on a separate identity provider.

33
Q
