Security Keys
Security keys are physical devices that are used to securely authenticate a user or device. They provide a more secure form of authentication than traditional username and password combinations and can be used to protect sensitive information, such as online accounts and sensitive data. Security keys work by using public key cryptography to verify the identity of the user or device. When a user at
Secure Enclave
A secure enclave is a hardware-based security feature that provides a secure environment for sensitive data and operations. It is designed to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access even if the rest of the system is compromised. Secure enclaves are commonly found in modern mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and are used to protect sensitive information such as b
Mutual Authentication with mTLS
Mutual authentication, also known as two-way authentication, is a security process in which both parties in a communication verify each other's identity. This helps to ensure that the communication is secure and that the parties involved are who they claim to be. In a typical mutual authentication process, both parties present their own credentials, such as a digital certificate or username and pa
Access Token
An access token is a string of characters that represents authorization to access a particular resource, such as an API or a specific piece of content in a system. Access tokens are generated by an authentication server and are then passed to the client application, which uses them to access the authorized resources. Access tokens are typically short-lived, and may need to be refreshed after a cer
Authentication
Authentication refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system before allowing access to sensitive information or systems. This process typically involves a combination of one or more factors, such as something the user knows (e.g., a password or PIN), something the user has (e.g., a smart card or security token), or something the user is (e.g., a biometric factor such
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to access multiple applications or services with a single set of credentials (username and password). Instead of having to log in to each individual service separately, SSO provides a centralized authentication mechanism, which verifies the user's identity once and then grants access to all authorized services and applications. SS
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a cybersecurity technique that requires users to provide two or more forms of identification before accessing sensitive information or resources. MFA is designed to provide an additional layer of security by verifying the identity of a user through multiple methods, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access. The most common forms of MFA incl
Zero Trust
Zero trust is a cybersecurity model that assumes that all users and devices within a network are potential threats, regardless of their location or whether they have been granted access to the network in the past. The goal of zero trust is to prevent data breaches, cyber attacks, and other security incidents by implementing strict access controls that are based on continuous monitoring and authent
Access Control
Access control in cybersecurity refers to the methods and technologies used to regulate who or what is allowed to access sensitive information and resources in a computer system or network. The goal of access control in cybersecurity is to ensure that sensitive information and resources are protected against unauthorized access, misuse, or modification. Access control in cybersecurity can be imple
