DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected weekly reading assignment Key Term.

What do we have to do to protect the authentication system? Does this placement facilitate authentication in some way? 

How about if we move the authentication system to a tier behind the DMZ, thus, a more trusted zone? 

What are the implications of doing so for authentication performance? For security?
