Identity has been established using a secret handshake (user ID and password) that gets the person or device through a gateway with access to permitted systems. Organizations are starting to take a wider, more complex view of identity to authenticate and authorize people and devices to provide a much more reliable, context-based confirmation of identity than a user ID or password can. The march to digitalization goes hand-in-hand with the rise in mobile device usage, which in turn enables more intelligent identity technology like biometrics.”]
