Java Authentication and Authorization Service, or JAAS, pronounced "Jazz", [1] is the Java implementation of the standard Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) information security framework. [2] JAAS was introduced as an extension library to the Java Platform, Standard Edition 1.3 and was integrated in version 1.4.
The most common methods for authentication and authorization include: Static strings: These are like passwords that are provided by API's to consumers. Dynamic tokens: These are time based tokens obtained by caller from an authentication service. User-delegated tokens: These are tokens such as OAuth [2] which are granted based on user ...
The crucial difference is that in the OpenID authentication use case, the response from the identity provider is an assertion of identity; while in the OAuth authorization use case, the identity provider is also an API provider, and the response from the identity provider is an access token that may grant the application ongoing access to some ...
Spring Security is a Java/Java EE framework that provides authentication, authorization and other security features for enterprise applications. The project was started in late 2003 as 'Acegi Security' (pronounced Ah-see-gee / ɑː s iː dʒ iː /, whose letters are the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth characters from the English alphabet, in order to prevent name conflicts [2]) by Ben ...
A pluggable authentication module (PAM) is a mechanism to integrate multiple low-level authentication schemes into a high-level application programming interface (API). PAM allows programs that rely on authentication to be written independently of the underlying authentication scheme.
Web access management (WAM) [1] is a form of identity management that controls access to web resources, providing authentication management, policy-based authorizations, audit and reporting services (optional) and single sign-on convenience. Authentication management is the process of determining a user’s (or application’s) identity.
In some related but distinct contexts, the term AAA has been used to refer to protocol-specific information. For example, Diameter uses the URI scheme AAA, which also stands for "Authentication, Authorization and Accounting", as well as the Diameter-based Protocol AAAS, which stands for "Authentication, Authorization and Accounting with Secure Transport".

CAS 1.0 implemented single-sign-on. CAS 2.0 introduced multi-tier proxy authentication. Several other CAS distributions have been developed with new features. In December 2004, CAS became a project of the Java in Administration Special Interest Group (JASIG), which is as of 2008 responsible for its maintenance and development. Formerly called ...
