Authentication
is a mechanism for verifying the identity of a
user. A form of network security, authentication
systems grant access (or authorisation) privileges
to specific users.
Token
authentication is based on the use of physical
devices, for example a portable USB device (the
size of an average house key).
Two-factor
authentication, a stronger security mechanism,
is based on something you know (for example, a
password or PIN) and something you have (for example,
a physical authenticator).
Hytec
has considerable experience in integrating authentication
systems and can advise customers on the most appropriate
technology for their organisation.
