Token Based Authentication Method Using Bluetooth Enabled Mobile Phone

Authentication is a mechanism to establish proof of identities; it ensures the right identification of a particular user or a particular system or device. Authentication is the first step in any cryptography solution, because unless the device knows who is using it, there is no point in encryptin...
