Much application security is linked to the concept of the user sign-on: often comprised of a user name and password. This basic form of limiting access to a computer system dates to the early days of computing. As technology has progressed, there has been development in using the basic sign-on, as well as more complex sign-on procedures, to further stratify user access within a given system. More complex security measures around user identification have also evolved, including logging of certain user activities and the creation of user classes to which a set of access privileges can be assigned. |
