1. Digital rights management (DRM): A technology framework that
controls how digital content is accessed, copied, and distributed to
prevent unauthorized use.
2. In-band authentication: Authentication that occurs over the same
communication channel as the primary transaction (e.g., logging in via the
same web session).
3. Out-of-band authentication: Authentication using a separate
communication channel (e.g., sending a code via SMS while logging in on a
website) to enhance security.
4. Kerberos: A network authentication protocol using tickets and
symmetric encryption to securely authenticate users and services.

, 5. Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP): An
authentication method where the server sends a challenge, and the client
responds with a hashed value to verify identity.
6. JSON Web Token (JWT): A compact, URL-safe token format used for
securely transmitting claims between parties, often in web authentication.
7. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP): A flexible authentication
framework used in network access (e.g., Wi-Fi) supporting multiple
methods like certificates or passwords.
8. Open Authentication (OAuth): An authorization framework allowing
third-party applications to access user resources without sharing
credentials.
9. Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) for
in-
dustrial control systems (ICS): MITRE's knowledge base of adversarial tactics
and techniques specifically targeting industrial control systems.
