Lists and briefly define categories of security service

Categories of security service

Authentication: The assurance that the communicating entity is the one that it claims to be.The problem of authorization is often thought to be identical to that of authentication; many widely adopted standard security protocols, obligatory regulations, and even statutes are based on this assumption. However, more precise usage describes authentication as the process of verifying a claim made by a subject that it should be treated as acting on behalf of a given principal (person, computer, smart card etc.), while authorization is the process of verifying that an authenticated subject has the authority to perform a certain operation.

Access control: The prevention of unauthorized use of a resource (i.e., this service controls who can have access to a resource, under what conditions access can occur, and what those accessing the resource are allowed to do).

Data confidentiality: The protection of data from unauthorized disclosure.

Data integrity: The assurance that data received are exactly as sent by an authorized entity (i.e., contain no modification, insertion, deletion, or replay).

Nonrepudiation: Provides protection against denial by one of the entities involved in a communication of having participated in all or part of the communication.

Availability service: The property of a system or a system resource being accessible and usable upon demand by an authorized system entity, according to performance specifications for the system (i.e., a system is available if it provides services according to the system design whenever users request them).
