Accounting
Key word credentials correlates with which AAA
Authentication
Single-sign-on (SSO) correlates with which AAA

Authentication, authorization, and accounting
Determines whether the user has the authority to perform such tasks or to access certain resources.

Authorization
Which stage of AAA is the user at when A user gains access to a network switch and may only be authorized to view the switch but not to make any changes to it.
Authorization
It issues a special token or ticket to its authenticated users and it uses this ticket to validate user access to a resource or a service.
Kerberos
Is a security mechanism that can be implemented on a network to register, authenticate, authorize, and enforce security policies on all endpoint devices before they are allowed to access the network
NAC
Is gaining popularity as a method to manage and keep track of the devices involved in BYOD (bring your own device)
NAC
Single-sign-on (SSO)
Permits users to authenticate only once, and after successful authentication, users are trusted to access other services or systems based on the ticket.
