The need to protect data has been with us from the earliest days of computing. The simplest security method depended on a password. Unfortunately, this method is open to abuse. People have bad memories so how often have we found the post-it note on the screen advertising the 'secret' password. Hence the need for strong two-factor Authentication. This is based on something you know ie a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and something you have, which could be a physical token or software installed on the remote PC.

Secure remote access

The best way to control and manage dial-in, VPN and secured Web site access is with a RADIUS Server. RADIUS stands for Remote Access Dial In User Service. It is often referred to as an AAA server highlighting it's 3 main functions:

• Authentication is the process of vetting the user to permit or deny access. This may use a simple ID and static password or one time passwords using tokens. It may use existing network ID's, a completely separate database or a combination of both.
• Authorisation determines the rules governing an individual user or group of users. It determines what servers and services are visible as well as setting session timeouts, password change policy etc.
• Accounting provides a detailed record of all activity. This can be used for traffic analysis or fed into a billing system.
