Logical Access Token
Logical Access Token: A logical access token is an electronic key, typically in the form of a digital credential or token, used to authenticate a user and authorize that user’s access to systems, applications, or data. This can include software-based tokens, hardware tokens, or cryptographic tokens used in multifactor authentication systems.
Logical Access
Logical Access: The ability to access data or resources based on user credentials, permissions, and other security controls. It is used to control access to sensitive information and systems. Examples include using a username and password to log into a network, requiring two-factor authentication to access a database, and using role-based access controls to restrict […]
Key-based authentication
Key-based authentication: A method of verifying a user’s identity using cryptographic keys, typically involving a pair of public and private keys. It is used in various security protocols to ensure that access to resources is granted only to authenticated users.
Kiosk service point
Kiosk service point: A physical location where customers can access a company’s services or products, often through the use of a self-service terminal. It is commonly found in airports, shopping malls, and other public areas. Examples include a ticket kiosk at an amusement park or a rental car kiosk at an airport.
Least privilege
Least privilege: A computer security concept in which a user or program is given the minimum levels of access necessary to complete its tasks. This means granting only the rights or permissions necessary to perform an assigned job function, and no more. This approach helps limit the potential damage that can result from errors, system […]
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP)
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP): A wireless network authentication protocol designed to provide secure client-to-access point communication. LEAP ensures only authorized users can access the network, commonly used in environments such as office Wi-Fi networks and public wireless spaces.
