I try to come up with any, easy association that comes to mind. For example, Authentication: Association that came to my mind was: often vacationing. I was associating with the sound of Authentication. Now, for the meaning. Authentication is defined: involves some type of security system used to positively identify a user in order to determine permissible access to resources. (A user proves their identity by providing a password. Resource access can be based upon this “proven” identity.) So, then I’ll work on tying the meaning into my association of often vacationing. I see myself going done to the beach that is being protected by military men. When I get to them I have to tell them the password, and show them a picture of me. They go ahead and check their computer to see if I am a valid member to the beach. They accept me in. Now, I can gain access to the beach and the ocean. Once inside I am able to use all the resources like chairs, umbrellas, or anything I can imagine being a resource associated with the beach.
