Hashing and Rainbow Tables
In this video, you will learn about one of the first ways IdAM practitioners operated the client server architecture, about its vulnerabilities, and how it was addressed.
What was the process?
Identity and access management was achieved through server passwords. Specifically, a user would create a password on the server, which would store the master template of the password. When the user logged in, the password was sent to the server to be compared against the master template. If it matched, access was granted. However, there are two major problems with this: the server has a copy of everyone’s password and a password will traverse the network.
Watch the video to find out how this was addressed and the subsequent vulnerabilities that manifested.
