Event Driven Applications
Why is access control important?
Because there’s a lot of data we don’t want just anyone to see.
- Describe an application that would need access control.
Any website that has the ability to sign up or sign in, Any social media app, any bank app…etc
- What is a role used for?
To verify what are the permission of the signed in user.
- Why is role based access control more scalable than discretionary or mandatory access control?
Discretionary access control is more or less impossible on a large scale, as it depends on a person allowing allowing/not allowing each person access to a section.
Mandatory access control is very secure, but as it is mainly designed and is usually used in governmental institutes, it wasn’t designed for company/real world access, it quite slow in comparison to role based access control, and it requires high amount of resources to maintain.
