I feel like "hardening" is definitely the right answer, especially since we covered that in the context of network security.

I remember discussing authentication and cryptography, but I can't recall if they specifically relate to securing a system.

I think the term we're looking for is "hardening," but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from our last practice session.
