All Categories:   Authentication
This glossary contains definitions and acronyms for terminology related to authentication. Authentication involves determining whether a user is, in fact, who he or she claims to be. User authentication is critical to ensure proper authorization and access to systems and services. Authentication can be conducted through the use of logon passwords, single sign-on (SSO) systems, biometrics, digital certificates and a public key infrastructure (PKI).
