Abstract
The rapid growth in Internet services has led to a demand for scaleable authentication systems to restrict access to licensed services (such as bibliographical services, databases, etc.) to authorised users. An increasing number of proprietary applications which provide authentication services are available. However such applications may only provide an interim solution, until authentication services based on open protocols are available. This article reviews developments to such open authentication protocols.
