Access Control Protocols

Access Control Protocols are systems and rules that determine who can view, modify, or use resources within a network or computer system. They ensure that only authorized individuals or devices can access sensitive data or functions by verifying identities through methods like passwords, badges, biometrics, or digital certificates. These protocols help protect information from unauthorized access, prevent data breaches, and maintain system integrity by controlling permissions based on roles, policies, or identities. In essence, they manage and enforce security measures to keep digital environments safe and trustworthy.
