Introduction
These past few years have been distinct by several malicious applications that have increasingly targeted online activities. As the number of online activities continues to grow strong, ease of Internet use and increasing use base has perfected the criminal targets. Therefore, attacks on numerous users can be achieved at a single click. The methods utilized in breaching Internet security vary. However, these methods have increasingly become complicated and sophisticated over time. With the increase in threat levels, stronger legislations are being increasingly issued to prevent further attacks. Most of these measures have been aimed at increasing the security of Internet information. Among these methods, the most prominent approach is security authentication and protection. This paper comprehensively evaluates the security authentication process. The paper also introduces security systems that help provide resistance against common attacks.
Security Authentication Process
Authentication is the process that has increasingly been utilized in verification of the entity or person. Therefore, this is the process utilized in determining whether something or someone is what it is declared to be (LaRoche, 2008). Authentication hence acts as part of numerous online applications. Before accessing an email account, the authentication process is incorporated in identification of the foreign program.
