Abstract
A system and method for implementing adaptive cryptographically synchronized authentication is disclosed. The authentication system includes a controller that dynamically selects one of a plurality of authentication mechanisms to be used in providing authentication for an exchange of message data. The variation in the level of authentication assurance can be based on one or more factors such as the current security conditions and the available CPU utilization.
