Maybe in some occasion you have wonder why you have to identify yourself EVERY SINGLE TIME that you want to log in to your email, favorite game, or even your computer, well this is all for your own safety, there exist these concepts called\u00a0Authentication, Authorization and Access Control, that even thought some people take as if they were the same, because normally end users aren\u00b4t aware of the whole process, you just put your username and password and magic\u00b4s done\"?\"<\/p>\n

\"shia-magic\"<\/p>\n

The first step is the authentication a.k.a inputting your user and password, well most of the times, there\u00b4s also other ways to identify yourself like, PIN, facial recognition, fingerprint, or a secret code just to name some examples, this last one it\u00b4s used very often for something called two steps verification which is a simple procedure designed to increase your security because it\u00b4s really easy that someone steals your password. The two steps verification its used by some companies like Sony in the PlayStation, also Google and Telegram have an option to turn it on. But not everything is perfect, a “disadvantage” of this method is that it\u00b4s a little bit annoying, but if you don\u00b4t bother, unless you also lose your cellphone or whichever device in which you receive the code, it\u00b4s WAY SAFER.<\/p>\n

We can divide the methods of authentication in\u00a0three:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. With something you know, like the password, PIN, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Something you have, like a smart-card<\/li>\n
  3. By who you are or what you do, like voice recognition or fingerprint<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But why is this useful, would\u00b4t be easier if they let me in without asking anything??<\/p>\n

    MMM all this\u00a0just to know WHO ARE YOU?????<\/p>\n

    \"are-yoou-ken\"<\/p>\n

    This lead us to the Authorization, this is just a system verification of what you can do depending of who you are it\u00b4s

    <\/div>\n
    \"?\"<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div> if when you tell them who you are they give you some keys<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n

    It depends on if you have common user privileges, maybe you\u00b4re able to access some more relevant info, or you have “God” privileges because you\u00b4re the administrator and can do anything\"?\"<\/p>\n

    The last part it\u00b4s the Access Control, and this is like a combination of Authentication and Authorization, here we use the information of who are you and what you have access, to determine if you can or not do something, and in case you\u00b4re not allowed to do so, well it just don\u00b4t let you, it\u00b4s like the bouncer at the clubs.<\/p>\n
