Authentication and security
Authentication and security concerns mechanisms that attempt to prevent unwanted access to systems and the data they transmit or store on other systems. Security continues to be an ever-present concern for mobile and Internet of Things technologies. The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) defines two main categories of cybercrime: technology-as-a-target and technology-as-an-instrument. Mobile and IoT technologies continue to exhibit vulnerabilities that make them targets for TaaT attacks. Mobile and IoT technologies also continue to serve as instruments of attacks on other objectives, such as exposing private and valuable information.
The NBCC Mobile First Technology initiative (MFTi) monitors issues and technical developments in authentication and security of mobile platforms and IoT technologies.
