Explanation
IAAA stands for Identification, Authentication, Authorization, and Accountability - the four pillars of access control in security frameworks. Identification is who you claim to be (e.g., username). Authentication proves that claim (e.g., password or MFA). Authorization defines what you're permitted to do. Accountability tracks actions through logging and auditing. The CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) is a separate model. Non-repudiation ensures users cannot deny their actions. Privacy is a legal/ethical concept, not an access control framework.
