autentimislogikat
Autentimislogikat, or authentication logic, is the study of the principles and methods used to verify the identities of entities in information systems. It blends cryptography, protocol design, and policy modeling to decide when a claimed identity is accepted.
The field covers identities, credentials, and assertions, and the processes that determine access rights. It clearly
Core concepts include authentication factors (something you know, something you have, something you are), session management,
Protocols and mechanisms include password-based schemes, challenge-response, and cryptographic protocols such as TLS mutual authentication and
Security properties include confidentiality and integrity of credentials, resistance to replay and impersonation, forward secrecy, and
Threats and defenses: phishing, credential stuffing, replay attacks, MITM, and weak credential storage. Defenses include strong
Relationship to broader fields: It sits within information security, cryptography, and identity and access management, and
History and trends: From early challenge-response and Kerberos to modern federated identities and zero-trust architectures, research
