Abstract

Authentication is the process of verifying a person's claim of identity. The designers of secure computer systems have incorporated many techniques of user-validation from law enforcement, from industrial security, and from the financial community. Several methods have also been developed explicitly for use in computer systems. This paper will present an overview of all methods of authentication currently used in computer security. Implementation considerations will also be discussed.
