Authentication and authorization are the cornerstones of
any well-implemented security policy. Simple passwords
are rarely sufficient, and as organizations grow,
control is quickly lost and administration and
maintenance become a nightmare. Developing a
comprehensive strategy that includes biometrics, token
and public key infrastructure (PKI) technologies to
assure authentication as well as data integrity is
imperative.
The
four principal forms of Authentication are:
-
"What you know" - (Password and passphrases)
-
"What you have" - (Tokens: physical keys and
smart cards)
-
"What you are" - (static biometrics:
fingerprint, iris, face, etc.)
-
"What you do" - (dynamic biometrics: voice,
signature, etc.)
Whether it is through authentication technologies such
as hardware tokens or software based certificates and
biometric identification, Pracitcal Solutions, Inc.
(PS4B) can provide our clients with the appropriate
authentication mechanism and
technologies
to meet their requirements. |
