The Processor, October 06, 2006 - Phishing scams and identity theft both continue to be a rising problem. A user may be targeted with attacks designed to steal his username and password for his computer or for various accounts such as his bank or credit card access credentials.

Authenticated Apache 2004-11-18 11:00:00
ITWorld, Enterprise Networking, November 18, 2004 - Anyone here feel comfortable using standard HTTP usernames and passwords to control access to digital products on Web servers? I'm not talking about encrypted connections via SSL, I'm talking about being absolutely sure the username and password is the person you think it is. How do you know the user typing a username and password into your Web site is the person who purchased access to the products?
