Cybersecurity is a critical concern for individuals
and for organizations of all types and sizes. Authentication and access
control are the first line of defense to help protect you from being
attacked. This book begins with the theoretical background of
cryptography and the foundations of authentication technologies and
attack mechanisms. You will learn about the mechanisms that are
available to protect computer networks, systems, applications, and
general digital technologies. Different methods of authentication are
covered, including the most commonly used schemes in password
protection: two-factor authentication and multi-factor authentication.
You will learn how to securely store passwords to reduce the risk of
compromise. Biometric authentication—a mechanism that has gained
popularity over recent years—is covered, including its strengths and
weaknesses. Authentication and Access Control explains the types of
errors that lead to vulnerabilities in authentication mechanisms. To
avoid these mistakes, the book explains the essential principles for
designing and implementing authentication schemes you can use in
real-world situations. Current and future trends in authentication
technologies are reviewed. What You Will Learn:
• Understand the basic principles of cryptography before digging into the details of authentication mechanisms
•
Be familiar with the theories behind password generation and the
different types of passwords, including graphical and grid-based
passwords
• Be aware of the problems associated with the use of
biometrics, especially with establishing a suitable level of biometric
matching or the biometric threshold value
• Study examples of multi-factor authentication protocols and be clear on the principles
• Know how to establish authentication and how key establishment processes work together despite their differences
• Be well versed on the current standards for interoperability and compatibility
• Consider future authentication technologies to solve today's problems
Who
This Book Is For: Cybersecurity practitioners and professionals,
researchers, and lecturers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate
students looking for supplementary information to expand their knowledge
on authentication mechanisms
