Enhancing web security: A deep dive into single sign-on (SSO) and web access tokens (WAT)
Single Sign-On (SSO) and Web Access Tokens (WAT) are two pivotal technologies in the domain of web security and user authentication. SSO simplifies the user experience by enabling access to multiple applications with a single set of login credentials, thereby enhancing both convenience and security. Conversely, WAT plays a crucial role in secure access management by granting temporary tokens that verify user identity and permissions across web applications. Both SSO and WAT are integral to creating a secure and seamless digital environment, each addressing unique facets of user authentication and access control. In the following sections, we will explore the mechanisms, benefits, and implementations of SSO and WAT.
