Emerging Technologies for Authorization and Authentication

Emerging Technologies for Authorization and Authentication was published by Springer in 2018 as part of their professional computing series. The book was developed to address the rapidly shifting landscape of cybersecurity, specifically the transition from traditional password-based access control to more robust, decentralized, and context-aware frameworks. By gathering research on contemporary protocols, the text serves as a technical bridge for engineers and security architects navigating the complexities of digital identity management.

The volume was edited by Andrea Saracino, a researcher specializing in network and system security. The design and structure of the book reflect a pedagogical approach common to academic technical literature, prioritizing rigorous analysis of cryptographic methods and authentication architecture. It was intended for a niche audience of academics and industry practitioners, providing a structured overview of state-of-the-art security mechanisms at a time when multi-factor authentication and biometric integration were becoming global standards.
