The user authentication is instantiated by a shared secret, one in the smartcard, for example a SIM card inside the mobile phone and the other is on the HLR/HSS. GBA authenticates by making a network component challenge the smartcard and verify that the answer is the one predicted by the HLR/HSS.
Google Authenticator is a software-based authenticator by Google.It implements multi-factor authentication services using the time-based one-time password (TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) and HMAC-based one-time password (HOTP; specified in RFC 4226), for authenticating users of software applications.
OAuth is an authorization protocol, rather than an authentication protocol. Using OAuth on its own as an authentication method may be referred to as pseudo-authentication. [26] The following diagrams highlight the differences between using OpenID (specifically designed as an authentication protocol) and OAuth for authorization.
CAS allows multi-tier authentication via proxy address. A cooperating back-end service, like a database or mail server, can participate in CAS, validating the authenticity of users via information it receives from web applications. Thus, a webmail client and a webmail server can all implement CAS.
Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for authentication and data security in Internet protocols. It decouples authentication mechanisms from application protocols , in theory allowing any authentication mechanism supported by SASL to be used in any application protocol that uses SASL.
First and foremost, strong authentication begins with multi-factor authentication. The best thing one can do to protect a personal online account is to enable multi-factor authentication. [13] [21] There are two ways to achieve multi-factor authentication: Use a multi-factor authenticator; Use a combination of two or more single-factor ...
Updating Android software is done over GSM where the SIM Toolkit may install automatically with new software regardless of automatic install applications. Change in applications and menus stored on the SIM is difficult after the customer takes delivery of the SIM and sometimes may be recognized as surveillance software.
Shibboleth 1.3 and earlier do not provide a built-in authentication mechanism, but any Web-based authentication mechanism can be used to supply user data for Shibboleth to use. Common systems for this purpose include CAS or Pubcookie. The authentication and single-sign-on features of the Java container in which the IdP runs (Tomcat, for example ...
