Dial Back: A security mechanism often used in remote authentication systems where the system disconnects a user after initial identification and then reconnects by dialing a pre-configured number. This process ensures that the connection is being established with a trusted source, thus reducing the risk of unauthorized access. It can be used in both telecommunications and networking environments to enhance security during remote access.
