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

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)

ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) is a type of access control that defines access policies based on attributes (such as user role, location, time, and device) rather than roles or permissions. In ABAC, access decisions are made based on the evaluation of multiple attributes, rather than relying on a single factor (such as a user's role). The main advantage of ABAC is its flexibility. Because A

Identity Provider (IdP)

An identity provider (IdP) is a service or system responsible for managing and authenticating the identities of users and devices within a network. An IdP acts as a central authority that authenticates users and devices and provides them with a digital identity that can be used to access other systems and services. Identity providers are commonly used in Single Sign-On (SSO) environments, where us
