Authentication refers to the process of validating the identity of a registered user or process to ensure a subject is who they claim to be. In this course, you will explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in authentication and how it can be leveraged to confirm a user's identity through a selfie, fingerprint, or voice recognition. Discover common authentication vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, username enumeration, and weak login credentials, and investigate how behavioral biometrics can analyze a user's physical and cognitive behavior to determine threats. Learn about other areas to consider when building a secure authentication solution, including anomaly detection, adaptive authentication, voice recognition, and facial recognition. Finally, find out how to detect security threats using AI and examine how AI models can streamline a common authentication process.
