Authentication

Authentication (D. R. Cheriton and W. Zwaenepoel 1984), in general, can be divided into two categories: Entity Authentication and Data Authentication. Although, we often consider these two categories to be quite similar, they are very different when it comes to why and how these authentications are carried out. While entity authentication always begins the process, data authentication comes into play after the user authentication is completed. With this said, it is important to understand that although entity authentication and data authentication are two major modes of authentication, there are different methods used to employ such authentication tactics.
