Description: Quorum-based authentication is a method of authentication that requires a minimum number of participants to agree before access is granted. This approach is based on the premise that security is enhanced by requiring the collaboration of multiple parties, making unauthorized access more difficult. Instead of relying on a single password or one authentication factor, quorum requires a group of individuals to validate the identity of a requester. This can include a combination of different authentication methods, such as passwords, hardware tokens, biometrics, and other factors. Quorum-based authentication is particularly useful in environments where security is critical, such as in financial institutions, government organizations, and sensitive information systems. By requiring the consensus of several participants, the risk of a single point of failure compromising the system’s security is minimized. Furthermore, this method can be adapted for different security levels, allowing organizations to adjust the number of required participants based on the context and sensitivity of the information being protected.
