1: Jace, great post!!! And yes, "identification and authentication are very different and great ways to protect a network," good job. And for this week's assignment, you will be discussing different ways to physically protect your company's building. When considering security, it's similar to protecting your own properties such as, your house, your phone, and your vehicles.
As you know, there are many different methods and requirements, depending on the asset (your property) and its value. For week 3, Jezreel did a great job with his podcast explaining the importance of protecting assets. Jace and class, how will you apply identification for your company's entrances?
2: According to chapter 4 the differences between identification vs authentication , identification is who you are check or test and Authentication is what you know check or test. We in every day life use both methods of testing . We use identification for our driver llicense . We use identification before we can cash a pay check. Some times we may need three types of proof of identification. I keep my social security card , driver license , and student id card in my wallet..What in your wallet to prove who you are?
3: Jace I see in your post your point of view of how identification and authentication can be blended . Your post reminded me of the night club scene when the bouncer knows your name there for you been identified by identification on how old you are..but the authentication is the problem because you don't know the password for entry. AND no party for you unless you know that password word.
