Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The AAA service security model consists of three components: Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting.

* Authentication: This is the process of verifying the identity of a user or device. It ensures that only legitimate users can access the network or service.

* Authorization: This determines what an authenticated user is allowed to do or access within the network.

* Auditing/Accounting: This component tracks the actions of the user, including what resources they access and what changes they make.

Thus, the correct answer is C. Authentication.

C. Authentication. It's the cornerstone of any good security model. Without it, you might as well just leave the door wide open and say 'come on in, folks!'
