Key terms
- Authentication. The process of verifying one's identity. That process is commonly paired with identification, which is the process of indicating one's identity. For instance, the process of issuing one's passport is an act of identification, while the process of verification of one's passport at a checkpoint is an act of authentication is the process of verifying that identity. When a system user provides the system with his or her username, the system requests its database whether that user is identified in this system and, if so, with what password, and authenticate that user based on whether the password matches the one in the database.
- Single sign-on (SSO). The mode of authentication that allows a user to log in with a single username and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems, and go through any of those systems without additional logging in.

Lectio 4 presentation
- CNM Cabin supplies every other service of CNM Cyber with your login and password. That means that you can log into any service of CNM Cyber with the same credentials. However, at this moment, you need to log in, i.e. type your login name and password over and over again.
- The good news is that developers of CNM Cyber plan to implement something called single sign-on, which is also known by its acronym SSO. When implemented, you would be logged in automatically in every service when you logged in any. Every login of yours would initiate your session with CNM Cyber and you would be able to switch between services without additional typing.
The successor lectio is User Aliases.
