Does a "good" authentication technology that is platform/system independent and provides SSO exist today? Explain your answer.

What will be an ideal response?


Unfortunately, the answer is no. Over the years, different authentication protocols have been created to serve different purposes. Each authentication protocol is composed of a series of steps used by two or more parties. The inner working of these steps verifies the identity of one or more of the parties. Not all authentication processes are perfect, and they are usually vulnerable to numerous types of security attacks. For example, with authentication information in hand, an attacker can steal keys to the network, replay old messages, or even modify messages without detection.
