Abstract
authentication is a process by which one can prove the identity of a communicating partner and/or confirm the genuineness of a document. The process becomes a corner stone of security services in any applications ranging from "defense sector" to "grocery shop". Initially, authentication process mostly surrounded by the memorized passwords, but after the remarkable breakthrough in cryptography by Diffie and Hellman in 1976, various authentication techniques from password to public key concepts have been evolved over the period. This paper tries to focus some of the advanced techniques of authentication. We discuss about Data and Entity authentication and propose a scheme that provides two-factor mutual authentication.
