Etätunnistusmenetelmä

Etätunnistusmenetelmä refers to a method of verifying a person's identity remotely, without the need for physical presence. This is increasingly common in digital services, financial transactions, and access control systems. The core principle is to establish that the person requesting access or performing an action is indeed who they claim to be, using various technological means.

Common etätunnistusmenetelmä techniques include the use of unique identifiers like username and password, often combined with multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring more than one form of verification, such as something the user knows (password), something the user has (a mobile phone for a one-time code), or something the user is (biometric data like a fingerprint or facial scan).

Other remote identification methods can involve digital certificates, secure code generation (tokens), or even video identification where an agent verifies the customer's identity documents and appearance via a live video call. The choice of method often depends on the level of security required for the specific service and the regulatory environment. The goal is to balance user convenience with robust security to prevent fraud and unauthorized access.
