Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting

Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) is a framework that can be used to control network resources intelligently. Using this framework, one can control who is permitted to access network resources, what resources the user can access and what resources the user has accessed. AAA framework is the logic behind Identity Management Systems. In this article, we are going to discuss the AAA framework and network protocols that provide the functionalities of the AAA framework in detail.
