The function of independantly verifying a user's identity - commonly referred to as "authentication" - is the essential foundation for trust for any business process. Particularly for electronic business process, authentication establishes trust by proving the identities of the participants in a transaction ... without authentication, after all, how do you know who's on the other end? As the popular cartoon observed a few years ago, "on the Internet, no one knows your a dog".

Increasingly, organizations are recognizing and leveraging authentication as the foundation for other critical services, based on trust in the authenticated identity of a user, device, application, group or organization.
