Description: Over-the-Air Authentication is a method of authentication that is delivered wirelessly, using technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC (Near Field Communication). This approach allows devices to authenticate with each other without the need for physical connections, facilitating interaction and enhancing user experience. Over-the-Air Authentication relies on the transmission of data through electromagnetic waves, making it particularly useful in environments where mobility and convenience are essential. This method can include the transmission of access codes, security tokens, or even biometric data, depending on the level of security required. Over-the-Air Authentication is part of the multifactor authentication category, as it can be combined with other methods, such as passwords or biometric authentication, to provide an additional layer of security. Its relevance has grown in an increasingly connected world, where the need to protect sensitive information is critical. Additionally, the ease of use and speed of this method make it an attractive option for mobile applications, IoT devices, and contactless payment systems, where user experience is paramount.
