My site is currently doing basic authentication.  I'm investigating new schemes 
and just came upon a company that offers "solutions for encryption, 
authentication, and authentification."  Where's this -f- coming from?  I've 
searched for a definition, but they seem to be used interchangeably; frequently 
in non-English language sites.  Can someone clear this up?
