TL;DR: A method of user password authentication is described which is secure even if an intruder can read the system's data, and can tamper with or eavesdrop on the communication between the user and the system.
Abstract: A method of user password authentication is described which is secure even if an intruder can read the system's data, and can tamper with or eavesdrop on the communication between the user and the system. The method assumes a secure one-way encryption function and can be implemented with a microcomputer in the user's terminal.
TL;DR: This work provides the first formal treatment of entity authentication and authenticated key distribution appropriate to the distributed environment and presents a definition, protocol, and proof that the protocol meets its goal, assuming only the existence of a pseudorandom function.
Abstract: We provide the first formal treatment of entity authentication and authenticated key distribution appropriate to the distributed environment. Addressed in detail are the problems of mutual authentication and authenticated key exchange for the symmetric, two-party setting. For each we present a definition, protocol, and proof that the protocol meets its goal, assuming only the existence of a pseudorandom function.
TL;DR: The authors concentrate on authentication for real-time, interactive services that are offered on computer networks, which includes remote login, file system reads and writes, and information retrieval for applications like Mosaic.
Abstract: When using authentication based on cryptography, an attacker listening to the network gains no information that would enable it to falsely claim another's identity. Kerberos is the most commonly used example of this type of authentication technology. The authors concentrate on authentication for real-time, interactive services that are offered on computer networks. They use the term real-time loosely to mean that a client process is waiting for a response to a query or command so that it can display the results to the user, or otherwise continue performing its intended function. This class of services includes remote login, file system reads and writes, and information retrieval for applications like Mosaic. >
TL;DR: This document describes an updated version of the IP Authentication Header (AH), which is designed to provide authentication services in IPv4 and IPv6, and obsoletes RFC 2402 (November 1998).

TL;DR: "HTTP/1.0", includes the specification for a Basic Access Authentication scheme, which is not considered to be a secure method of user authentication (unless used in conjunction with some external secure system such as SSL [5]), as the user name and password are passed over the network as cleartext.
