Library patrons treat 'logging in' as the entire AAA model. Which statement correctly separates the AAA functions?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
AAA is a three-step dance: prove who you are, get told what you may touch, then leave footprints of what you did. Logging in is mostly authentication — it is not the whole party. Keep those three words unbundled.
Full Explanation
AAA consists of authentication (verifying identity), authorization (determining what an authenticated subject may do), and accounting (recording activities for audit and accountability). Confusing login with the entire model misses authorization and accounting. MFA strengthens authentication; audit logs support accounting; neither swaps the definitions. Security+ expects clear separation of the three functions in access-control discussions.
