Abstract

The need for changes in the way authentication is performed has been clearly identified in the early chapters. Indeed the purpose of this text is to provide a different perspective on the problem – moving away from the traditional point-of-entry Boolean decision to a continuous identity confidence. The Transparent Authentication System (TAS) seeks to harness all authentication approaches and provide a level of flexibility to enable compatibility and acceptance from all aspects of society, the young, old, professional, unskilled and security-indifferent individual. However, this approach is far from being a panacea for the authentication problem.
