Authasas is designed to address both overall system security and user acceptance with the following goals in mind:

  • Convenience - Security functionality should be easy to use, so that users will not attempt to bypass it.
  • Flexibility - Different applications call for different security measures, therefore security layers must be flexible in order to provide the right level of protection to the problem being addressed.
  • Centralization - Administrators must be able to manage the entire system in a consolidated and integrated manner, from a central or multiple locations.
