6. Tokens, memory cards and smartcards
7. Biometrics
8. Credential management systems (CM)
9. CISSP Exam Tips
  1. Hashed passwords should always be "salted"
  2. Biometric markers may be able to detect addiction, illness and pregnancy
  3. Attacks can gain control of a CM system and issue privileged credentials

3. Kerberos
4. SESAME
5. Thin clients
6. Federation Authentication
7. Identitity as a service (IDaaS)
8. CISSP Exam Tips

5.5 Implementing Access and Authorization Criteria
1. CISSP Exam Tips
  1. Privilege trumps rights and persmissions
  2. When in doubt, deny access
  3. Authorization creep is the accumulation of access rights, permissions, and privileges over time
2. Rights and permissions
3. Privilege
4. Need to know and least privilege
5. Default allow and default deny
6. Authorization creep
7. Dual control and separation of duties
5.6 Implementing Access Control Models
1. CISSP Exam Tips
  1. The OS and the Application must support the access control model

  2. An ATM is an example of a constrained interface
  3. ACLs and Capability tables are generally cumulative
5.8 Identity and Access Provisioning
1. CISSP Exam Tips
  1. Provisioning and review are iterative phases
