Authentication
What is authentication?
Authentication is an important process in order to gain access to digital resources. It involves verifying a user or device before allowing them access to a system or resources. Authentication allows organizations to grant access only to the right user at the right time with confidence. This process usually consists of three steps: identification, authentication, and authorization. During authentication, the user's identity is being proven through additional authentication factors such as passwords and biometrics which help increase security for the system or resource. Authentication is therefore crucial for ensuring that only those who are authorized can gain access and use the system or resource accordingly.
