  2. Security token - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_token

    In this type of attack, an attacker acts as the "go-between" of the user and the legitimate system, soliciting the token output from the legitimate user and then supplying it to the authentication system themselves. Since the token value is mathematically correct, the authentication succeeds and the fraudster is granted access.

  3. Tokenization (data security) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokenization_(data_security)

    The token is a reference (i.e. identifier) that maps back to the sensitive data through a tokenization system. The mapping from original data to a token uses methods that render tokens infeasible to reverse in the absence of the tokenization system, for example using tokens created from random numbers. [3]

  4. Multi-factor authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication

    The basic principle is that the key embodies a secret that is shared between the lock and the key, and the same principle underlies possession factor authentication in computer systems. A security token is an example of a possession factor. Disconnected tokens have no connections to the client computer. They typically use a built-in screen to ...

  5. Electronic authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_authentication

    Tokens generically are something the claimant possesses and controls that may be used to authenticate the claimant's identity. In e-authentication, the claimant authenticates to a system or application over a network. Therefore, a token used for e-authentication is a secret and the token must be protected.

  6. Logical security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_security

    Logical security consists of software [1] safeguards for an organization's systems, including user identification and password access, authenticating, access rights and authority levels. These measures are to ensure that only authorized users are able to perform actions or access information in a network or a workstation.

  7. RSA SecurID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_SecurID

    While the RSA SecurID system adds a layer of security to a network, difficulty can occur if the authentication server's clock becomes out of sync with the clock built into the authentication tokens. Normal token clock drift is accounted for automatically by the server by adjusting a stored "drift" value over time.

  8. Access token - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_token

    An access token is used by Windows when a process or thread tries to interact with objects that have security descriptors (securable objects). [1] In Windows, an access token is represented by the system object of type Token. An access token is generated by the logon service when a user logs on to the system and the credentials provided by the ...

  9. Token Binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_Binding

    Token Binding is a proposed standard for a Transport Layer Security (TLS) extension that aims to increase TLS security by using cryptographic certificates on both ends of the TLS connection. Current practice often depends on bearer tokens, [ 1 ] which may be lost or stolen.
