  • Declarative authorization 
  • Programmatic authorization 
  • Programmatic authentication

 Why Certificate-based Authentication? 

  • Username/password authentication cannot be used between program to program authentication 
    • Certificates may identify end-users, business organizations, servers, software entities 
  • Username/password pair might not provide enough credentials 
    • Certificate can contain much more than username and password

Certificate-based Authentication 

  • Client authentication 
    • Server verifies client's identity 
  • Server authentication 
    • Client verifies server's identity 
    • Occurs “transparently” in SSL-based browser and web server communication 
  • Mutual authentication 
    • both server and client verify each other's identity
