Abstract

The paper surveys the authentication services used by modern computer systems and presents the major operational authentication services employed by commercial companies, banking as well as government departments. As distributed system services are susceptible to a variety of threats mounted by intruders as well as legitimate users of the system, password-based authentication is not suitable for use on computer networks.
