Biometric Authentication
Advancements in biometric authentication include the integration of more secure and accurate biometric technologies such as facial recognition, iris scanning, and fingerprint recognition. These technologies provide a more reliable and convenient way to verify a user's identity.
Behavioral Biometrics
Behavioral biometrics involves analyzing patterns in user behavior, such as typing speed, mouse movements, and touchscreen interactions, to verify identity. This approach adds an extra layer of security by detecting anomalies in user behavior.
Contextual Authentication
Contextual authentication takes into account various factors such as location, time of access, and device used to determine the legitimacy of a user's access request. This helps in preventing unauthorized access even if the correct credentials are provided.
Continuous Authentication
Continuous authentication continuously monitors user activity during an online session to ensure that the authorized user is still in control. This approach helps in detecting and preventing unauthorized access in real-time.
