Mutual Authentication Definition: Mutual Authentication is a security method where both parties in a communication verify each other's identities, typically through digital certificates, to ensure a trusted connection.
Mutual Authentication is a security process in which both parties in a communication exchange verify each other's identity through authentication mechanisms. This ensures that not only the client authenticates the server (as in traditional one-way authentication), but also the server authenticates the client. This two-way verification process helps prevent impersonation attacks and ensures a higher level of trust and security in the communication.
Mutual Authentication is one of the topics you'll master in the Security+ Boot Camp.
