WHAT DOES AUTHENTICATOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Authenticator

An authenticator is a way to prove to a computer system that you really are who you are. It is either: ▪ A piece of data that you got from the last place where you proved who you are. ▪ A program, usually running somewhere on the computer network, that takes care of authentication. Authenticator tokens are common when one program needs to authenticate itself to a larger server or cloud repeatedly. For instance, you might sign on to a secure website with your name and password, after which you can surf around inside the secure server, visiting different web pages. Every time you move to a new page, however, the server must believe that you are the same person who originally signed in. Your browser keeps an authenticator token, which it sends upon every page request, that does this. More complex situations might involve a program that runs automatically that similarly requires authentication to get at the data it needs, but there's no human around to log in for them. An authenticator token must be prepared in advance that this program uses. Ultimately, some human must authenticate to create such a token.
