Access Control includes authentication, authorization and audit. It also includes additional measures such as physical devices, including biometric scans and metal locks, hidden paths, digital signatures, encryption, social barriers, and monitoring by humans and automated systems. Authorization may be implemented using role based access control, access control lists or a policy language such as XACML. |

Yet password security remains a cornerstone of system security: as much as 80% of security breaches take place not through arcane hacking and virus attacks, but through system infiltration facilitated by use of a password.

Windows’ newest technology, the User Account Control, found in the Vista operating system has been erroneously called an additional level of security by many computer security professionals.

But IAM is also difficult to implement because it touches virtually every end user, numerous business processes as well as every IT application and infrastructure component. As such, successful projects require input and cooperation from many internal groups, an effort that can be difficult to organize.

Although roles-based access control (RBAC) has been the subject of much interest in the past, experience with it has been mostly disappointing. The challenge of discovering established roles, defining new roles according to business need, connecting roles properly to the IT infrastructure, ensuring that they meet all compliance requirements, and managing roles through their natural lifecycles has, until now, proved to be too complicated and cumbersome to be practical.
