Description: PAM-Token is a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) designed to facilitate token-based authentication. This approach allows systems to manage user authentication more securely and flexibly, using tokens that can be generated and verified in real-time. Tokens are character strings that represent a user’s identity and can be used to access various services and applications. PAM-Token integrates into the PAM framework, which is a modular authentication system used in various operating systems. This module allows system administrators to implement customized authentication policies, adapting to the specific security needs of each organization. Token-based authentication is especially relevant in environments where a high level of security is required, such as accessing sensitive data or managing identities. By using PAM-Token, organizations can reduce the risk of identity theft and improve access management, as tokens can be configured to expire after a certain period or be revoked if a security compromise is suspected.
