AAA protocol
Okay, kiddo! So, AAA stands for authentication, authorization, and accounting. Think of these like a secret handshake that you have to do before you can play with your friends.
Authentication means proving that you are who you say you are. So, when you type in your password to log in to your computer or your gaming account, that's authentication.
Authorization means deciding what you're allowed to do once you're logged in. Your parents might say that you're allowed to play games for an hour, but after that you have to do your homework. That's authorization.
Accounting is like keeping track of what you do. It's like your parents keeping a chart to see how much screen time you've had. It helps people see what you've been doing and how long you've been doing it.
So, the AAA protocol just helps computers and networks make sure that people are who they say they are, only do what they're allowed to do, and that there's a record of it all. It's like making sure everyone is playing fair and following the rules.
