FSTC BMA Roadmap and Survey of Authentication and Related Issues
The attached presentation was developed as a survey of the many observations and conclusions that came out of FSTC's Better Mutual Authentication (BMA) Project. It covers a lot of territory, and was really intended to serve as a "toolkit" that BMA project participants could use to build their own presentations to help educate colleagues and share some of the insights and lessons learned from the BMA Project.
W3C WSC participants may find some of the overviews of authentication techniques useful, especially some of the material that places these techniques in context and shows how complementary techniques can be combined to improve confidence in authentication systems.
