Centralized Authentication System
|
In an era of increasing reliance on digital platforms, governments worldwide have recognized the critical importance of providing secure, efficient, and accessible services to their citizens. A central authentication system (CAS) is a fundamental component in ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive government data while offering streamlined access to services. This research investigated the central authentication system's capabilities for optimizing government service regulation, focusing on its effectiveness, security, scalability, and usability. |
All the analysis and research are focused for the enhancement of the Nepal government services framework by developing prototype CAS framework. Mixed methodology is selected for the research process. As technology evolves, CAS research and development efforts continue to advance, addressing the ever-growing challenges of cyber threats, scalability, user experience, and compliance. |
In the realm of CAS investigation, several critical areas are under detailed investigation to enhance the overall efficiency and security of these systems. Foremost among these concerns is the imperative to strength security measures, with a concentrated effort on strengthening authentication mechanisms. This includes the implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and the deployment of advanced encryption techniques to counteract emerging threats such as identity theft, password attacks, and phishing. Another focal point of research is scalability and performance optimization, given the increasing adoption of CAS solutions. The aim is to develop architectures capable of efficiently managing large user bases and transaction volumes with minimal latency. Simultaneously, a user-centric approach is taken to improve the overall user experience through friendly authentication methods, single sign-on (SSO) solutions, and adaptive authentication. Interoperability and federation standards are also a priority, ensuring seamless integration with diverse services and platforms. Additionally, research delves into aligning CAS with evolving compliance regulations and data protection laws to safeguard user data. Lastly, the intersection of CAS research with Identity and Access Management (IAM) aims to create tightly integrated solutions for centralized management of user identities, roles, and access permissions.
