Why Strong Authentication? - The Security and Administrative Benefits of Using X.509 PKI Based Strong Authentication
Overview Strong authentication based on X.509 PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is available in a number of protocols and provides both security & administrative benefits and drawbacks. This paper looks at the security and administrative benefits (and draw backs) of using strong authentication as well as the generic issues that apply to many applications and protocols using strong authentication. Future white papers will look at specific applications of strong authentication. This paper shows that, in many situations, there are significant security and administrative benefits to using strong authentication. These benefits are behind Isode's drive to add strong authentication capabilities to many parts of the Isode product set.
