password

Valentine’s Day is back and so are the malwares and viruses! Attackers would have tried by now to add you as friends on Facebook and other social networking sites and would have obtained your email addresses from there (if you add just about anyone on such sites without thinking twice).

Once they get your email id they would sent you a cute card laced with virus. Once you open the card/mail you get infected instead of love! No doubt you will receive many emails today expressing love for you today but be cautious of viruses around.

A few tips that may help:

Authentication is a process that verifies the credentials of a user. The verification may be carried out on basis of previously stored information within the system in the form of passwords, biometrics or challenge response mechanisms. A user here implies someone whse record is already created in the SAI (stored authentication information).  The user presents information to the system for comparison and such information is called comparison information authentication (CAI).
