Authentication protocol
Encyclopedia
An authentication protocol is a type of cryptographic protocol
with the purpose of authenticating
entities wishing to communicate securely.
There are many different authentication protocols such as:

There are many different authentication protocols such as:
- AKAAKA (security)AKA stands for the Authentication and Key Agreement. It is a security protocol used in 3G networks.AKA is also used for one-time password generation mechanism for Digest access authentication.
