ABSTRACT:
A method for authenticating users on networks includes an application server requesting a user host to send authentication data to a verification server. The verification server maintains a database of valid authentication data, against which it compares and verifies the authentication data it receives from the user host. The verification result is sent to the application server, which authenticates the user based on the result. Therefore, the configuration of the application server is simplified. The verification server can be used by a plurality of application servers, allowing for the efficient use of resources on a network.
