Authentication

• Authentication is proving your identity.

• Properly implemented encryption proves identity.
  • When logging an username and password are provided.
    • Both are unique keys.

• If this personal information is kept private and is encrypted, then in a perfect world:
  • It cannot be stolen.
  • It cannot be duplicated.
  • And it proves your identity.

What is privacy?
