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?
