Stronger Authentication

Yvonne Wilson, Abhishek Hingnikar

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Different methods of authentication are not considered equal. The static passwords that still enable access to many Internet services are considered a relatively weak authentication mechanism. Several stronger forms of authentication exist, and their use is recommended to better protect online resources. In this chapter, we’ll discuss the issues with static passwords and how stronger forms of authentication can be used for multi-factor authentication and step-up authentication.
