Understanding CoA Change of Authorization

Change of Authorization (CoA) refers to the process in network security where an already authenticated session is altered in terms of its permissions or access rights. This can involve updating a user's privileges during an active session, such as granting or revoking access to specific resources or services. CoA is typically used in Network Access Control (NAC) systems to dynamically enforce security policies based on changing conditions or requirements.
