The OfficeLine Authentication Server is a product used to verify clients' authentication and messages using many different methods. It checks the data that clients enter to confirm their identity (logging in after the communication through a certain distribution channel has been established) or to authenticate the sent message (entering a transaction). The authentication services are available not only within OfficeLine but also for other applications that can communicate with the OfficeLine Authentication Server and use it for the authentication of clients and messages.
