User Authentication This chapter examines some of the authentication functions that have been developed to support network-based use authentication User authentication is the fundamental building block and the primary line of defense User authentication is the basis for most types of access control and for user accountability This chapter examines some of the authentication functions that have been developed to support network-based use authentication. In most computer security contexts, user authentication is the fundamental building block and the primary line of defense. User authentication is the basis for most types of access control and for user accountability. RFC 2828 defines user authentication as the process of verifying an identity claimed by or for a system entity. An authentication process consists of two steps: Identification step: Presenting an identifier to the security system. (Identifiers should be assigned carefully, because authenticated identities are the basis for other security services, such as access control service.) Verification step: Presenting or generating authentication information that corroborates the binding between the entity and the identifier.” In essence, identification is the means by . | Data Security and Encryption (CSE348) Lecture slides by Lawrie Brown for “Cryptography and Network Security”, 5/e, by William Stallings, briefly reviewing the text outline from Ch 0, and then presenting the content from Chapter 1 – “Introduction”.
