<p>Identity-based security is a type of <a href="/facts/Security/B4uxkyxh">security</a> that focuses on access to digital information or services based on the authenticated identity of an entity. It ensures that the users and services of these digital resources are entitled to what they receive. The most common form of identity-based security involves the login of an account with a username and password.
