Difference between Authentication and Closed-loop authentication

Authentication vs. Closed-loop authentication

Authentication (from authentikos, "real, genuine", from αὐθέντης authentes, "author") is the act of confirming the truth of an attribute of a single piece of data claimed true by an entity. Closed-loop authentication, as applied to computer network communication, refers to a mechanism whereby one party verifies the purported identity of another party by requiring them to supply a copy of a token transmitted to the canonical or trusted point of contact for that identity.

Similarities between Authentication and Closed-loop authentication

Authentication and Closed-loop authentication have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Digital identity, Key (cryptography), Password, Security token, Shared secret.

Digital identity

A digital identity is information on an entity used by computer systems to represent an external agent.

Key (cryptography)

In cryptography, a key is a piece of information (a parameter) that determines the functional output of a cryptographic algorithm.

Password

A password is a word or string of characters used for user authentication to prove identity or access approval to gain access to a resource (example: an access code is a type of password), which is to be kept secret from those not allowed access.

Authentication and Closed-loop authentication Comparison

Authentication has 130 relations, while Closed-loop authentication has 13. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 3.50% = 5 / (130 + 13).
