Digital authentication is no longer a new term in today’s technology-driven society. It is a critical security mechanism that helps to protect our cyberspace from various types of fraud and identity theft. It is used to enable electronic transactions that are performed over the Internet and provide the necessary confidence in the validity and security of the information being transferred. We use this mechanism almost every day, when logging into our email accounts, social media, internet banking, etc., to verify our identity.
The securement of personal data and the relevant digital environment is very important today, most notably in light of the new general data protection regulations. These require all digital personal data to be stored in a location that is both password and firewall-protected. This information must be encrypted, and the password must only be made available to those who have a justified reason for accessing the information.
