Test Center for Authentication and Authorization (AA)
This section focuses on evaluating the security of user authentication and authorization mechanisms. Tests include assessing the strength of password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA), session management, and protection against brute-force attacks. It also involves verifying proper access controls to ensure that users have appropriate permissions and cannot escalate privileges.
Additionally, this section tests the robustness of token management (e.g., JWT, OAuth), secure login processes, and defenses against common threats such as authentication bypass, session hijacking, and privilege escalation.
