What is Authentication?8:27
In this lecture, we will learn What Authentication is.

When do I use IAM?
AWS Identity and Access Management is a core infrastructure service that provides the foundation for access control based on identities within AWS. You use IAM every time you access your AWS account. The way you use IAM will depend on the specific responsibilities and job functions within your organization. Service users leverage IAM to access the AWS resources required for their day-to-day work, with administrators granting the appropriate permissions. IAM administrators, on the other hand, are responsible for managing IAM identities and writing policies to control access to resources. Regardless of your role, you will interact with IAM whenever you need to authenticate and authorize access to AWS resources. This could involve signing in as an IAM user, assuming an IAM role, or leveraging identity federation for seamless access. Understanding the various IAM capabilities and use cases is crucial for effectively managing secure access to your AWS environment. When it comes to creating policies and permissions, IAM provides a flexible and granular approach. You can define trust policies to control which principals can assume a role, as well as identity-based policies that specify the actions and resources a user or role is allowed to access. By properly configuring these IAM policies, you can ensure that users and applications have the appropriate level of permissions to perform their required tasks.

Smart Cards2:59
Smart cards store an embedded certificate and private key to enable certificate-based authentication, digital signatures, privacy, integrity, non denial, and encryption, with a pin for dual-factor authentication, CAC or PIV.
Tokens or Key Fobs5:22
Describe how hardware tokens and software tokens generate one-time passwords using HOTP and TOTP, synchronized with a server to enable dual-factor authentication.
Biometric Methods7:38
Explore biometric authentication methods, including fingerprint, iris, retina, voice, and face recognition, with enrollment, matching processes, false acceptance/rejection rates, and geolocation as an access factor.
Dual-Factor and Multifactor Authentication1:38
Explore dual-factor and multi-factor authentication by combining something you have, something you know, or something you are, with examples like smart cards, pins, USB tokens, and passwords.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)17:17
Learn how multi-factor authentication strengthens security by combining knowledge, possession, and inherence factors, with passwords, OTP codes, biometrics, and AI-driven adaptive authentication to assess risk.
PAP / CHAP / MS-CHAP2:49
Explore password authentication protocols including PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP, their use of PGP, and how CHAP and MS-CHAP improve security by hashing credentials and enabling mutual authentication.
RADIUS6:28
Radius acts as a central authentication service for VPNs and 802.1 X networks, using UDP and LDAP-backed accounts to provide one account across locations, with EAP support and Diameter/TACACS+ comparisons.
