Description: Two-Way Authentication is an authentication process that requires verification from both the user and the system. This approach is based on the premise that both parties must prove their identity before establishing a secure connection. In the context of multifactor authentication, Two-Way Authentication adds an extra layer of security, as not only must the user provide credentials, but the system must also validate its identity. This is achieved through digital certificates, cryptographic keys, or security tokens, allowing both parties to confirm they are interacting with the correct entity. Two-Way Authentication is particularly relevant in environments where security is critical, such as financial transactions, access to corporate networks, and sensitive information systems. By implementing this type of authentication, the risks of identity theft and man-in-the-middle attacks are minimized, thus ensuring a more secure and reliable communication between the user and the system.
