Description: Multi-user authentication is a process of identity verification that involves multiple users to ensure access to a system or resource. This approach relies on the collaboration of several individuals to validate the identity of a requester, adding an extra layer of security. Unlike traditional authentication methods, which typically depend on a single user and their credential, multi-user authentication requires the active participation of multiple users, which may include the approval of several stakeholders or the verification of identities through different channels. This technique is particularly useful in environments where security is critical, such as in financial institutions, government systems, or collaborative platforms. The main features of multi-user authentication include enhanced security, reduced risk of unauthorized access, and the ability to implement more granular access controls. Additionally, this method can facilitate auditing and activity tracking, as each action is backed by the approval of multiple users, fostering shared accountability among participants.
