Usage examples
  • Authentication is the provision of assurance of the claimed identity of an entity. In case of user authentication, users are identified either by knowledge (e.g., a secret such as a password or a PIN), by possession (e.g., a physical token), or by a personal characteristic (e.g., biometrics such as a fingerprint or face geometry). Two-factor authentication is based on two independent factors, for example, a passport with a fingerprint. Multifactor authentication hence means two or more of the authentication factors required for being authenticated.
