[50] Alt-Svc: http/1.1="http2.example.com:8001"; ma=7200: Permanent Cache-Control
Credentials in cryptography establish the identity of a party to communication. Usually they take the form of machine-readable cryptographic keys and/or passwords. Cryptographic credentials may be self-issued, or issued by a trusted third party; in many cases the only criterion for issuance is unambiguous association of the credential with a ...
Credential stuffing is a type of cyberattack in which the attacker collects stolen account credentials, typically consisting of lists of usernames or email addresses and the corresponding passwords (often from a data breach), and then uses the credentials to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on other systems through large-scale automated login requests directed against a web ...
Credential Management, also referred to as a Credential Management System (CMS), is an established form of software that is used for issuing and managing credentials as part of public key infrastructure (PKI). CMS software is used by governments and enterprises issuing strong two-factor authentication (2FA) to employees and citizens. The CMS ...

It was originally implemented by Ari Luotonen at CERN in 1993 [1] and defined in the HTTP 1.0 specification in 1996. [2]
