What is an identity?
#

Identity is the link that correlates the subject and the authentication process. Without a valid identity the system has no way of establishing who the subject is? Identity enables the subject to be identified and validated, and only once it has been established and authorized it is accountable for any actions taken in the system.

Identity and access: a subject’s identity is authenticated, then authorized, and its actions are audited

In the system where the actions are being executed by an identity, it the identity that is tracked, audited and not the actual subject.

Previously I talked about files, encoding in golang. In this LTD (learn to do) I will talk about hash package in general. https://blog.samarthya.me/wps/2021/01/30/golang-encoding/ Help # https://golang.org/pkg/hash/#Hash https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/#Hash.New https://golang.org/src/crypto/crypto.go?s=364:378#L6 https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/#pkg-subdirectories Package crypto collects common cryptographic constants. — Official golang documentation const ( MD4 Hash = 1 + iota // import golang.org/x/crypto/md4 MD5 // import crypto/md5 SHA1 // import crypto/sha1 SHA224 // import crypto/sha256 SHA256 // import crypto/sha256 SHA384 // import crypto/sha512 SHA512 // import crypto/sha512 MD5SHA1 // no implementation; MD5+SHA1 used for TLS RSA RIPEMD160 // import golang.org/x/crypto/ripemd160 SHA3_224 // import golang.org/x/crypto/sha3 SHA3_256 // import golang.org/x/crypto/sha3 SHA3_384 // import golang.org/x/crypto/sha3 SHA3_512 // import golang.org/x/crypto/sha3 SHA512_224 // import crypto/sha512 SHA512_256 // import crypto/sha512 BLAKE2s_256 // import golang.org/x/crypto/blake2s BLAKE2b_256 // import golang.org/x/crypto/blake2b BLAKE2b_384 // import golang.org/x/crypto/blake2b BLAKE2b_512 // import golang.org/x/crypto/blake2b ) Let’s try out a simple MD5 hasher.
