Terminology
Terminology
IdP
An identity provider (IdP) authenticates a user and provides identity and access tokens for accessing other services. It uses SAML and OIDC protocols to interact with clients and is backed by a directory service storing user information.
IAM
Authentication and Authorization are two distinctly different processes in the field of Identity and Access Management (IAM).
There are numerous strategies utilized in modern computing systems, some of the oldest (not necessarily most secure) being PINs and Passwords. This is the “I” in Identity and Access Management (IAM).
The management and implementation of the policies that determine the authorization users are granted is the “AM” in IAM.
Amazon S3
As a key-value store, Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) offers object storage for gathering massive amounts of unstructured or semi-structured data for websites, mobile applications, and whatever else businesses require. This high-level and generic storage structure provides users enormous flexibility, scalability, data availability and performance.
According to Amazon: “Customers of all sizes and industries can use Amazon S3 to store and protect any amount of data for a range of use cases, such as data lakes, websites, mobile applications, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications, IoT devices, and big data analytics. Amazon S3 provides management features so that you can optimize, organize, and configure access to your data to meet your specific business, organizational, and compliance requirements.”
Just-enough Access
To grant users with the appropriate access rights, and only enough access rights, to databases in order to complete specific task assignments or execute their role’s responsibilities—no more, no less.
Cloud Object Storage
Cloud object storage, also known as object storage or object-based storage, makes it possible to store, archive, back up, and manage high volumes of static or unstructured data—reliably, efficiently, and affordably. Unstructured data is data that cannot be organized easily into a traditional relational database with rows and columns. This data could include things like email, videos, photos, web pages, audio files, sensor data, and other types of media and web content.
