CHAP
All Java Based Apps are secure because Java is one of the most secure programming languages. For Ex: In Web applications, security can be implemented using strong authentication. The different types of Authentication used in Web Applications are:• HTTP Basic Authentication - Authentication based on a username and password. It is the authentication mechanism defined in the HTTP/1.0 specification. A Web server requests a Web client to authenticate the user. The Web client obtains the username and the password from the user and transmits them to the Web server. The Web server then authenticates the user. This is the lowest level security of the four here.• HTTP Digest Authentication - The password is encrypted. Like HTTP Basic Authentication, HTTP Digest Authentication authenticates a user based on a username and a password. However, the authentication is performed by transmitting the password in an encrypted form.• HTTPS Client Authentication - This is end user authentication using HTTPS (HTTP over SSL). This mechanism uses public key encryption, which requires the user to possess a Public Key Certificate (PKC). This is the highest level security of the four here.• Form Based Authentication - This is similar to Basic except that a form is used with predefined fields. These fields must be named j_username and j_password, respectively and the form method and action must be named POST and j_security_check, respectively
Windows authentication is the default authentication method when you create a new Web application project.

computer scientists are always trying to improve biometric authentication methods
It's a mutual authentication; it verifies both user and sender of the ticket using symmetric keys.
