Key terms

Authentication. The process of verifying one's identity. That process is commonly paired with identification, which is the process of indicating one's identity. For instance, the process of issuing one's passport is an act of identification, while the process of verification of one's passport at a checkpoint is an act of authentication is the process of verifying that identity. When a system user provides the system with his or her username, the system requests its database whether that user is identified in this system and, if so, with what password, and authenticate that user based on whether the password matches the one in the database.

• Single sign-on (SSO). The mode of authentication that allows a user to log in with a single username and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems, and go through any of those systems without additional logging in.

Script

CNM Cabin supplies every other CNM Cyber service with your username and password. That means that you can log into any service of CNM Cyber with the same identity credentials. However, at this moment, you need to log in every service separately. I.e. every Certified CNM Cyber User needs to type his or her username and password over and over again while switching to another system.

To simplify the authorization process and to make it more secure, the CNM Cyber Workforce plans to implement something called single sign-on, which is also known by its acronym SSO. When implemented, you would be logged in automatically in every service when you logged in any. Every logging-in of yours would initiate your session with CNM Cyber and you would be able to switch between services without additional typing of your credentials.

User Identity at Cabin is the successor lectio.
