As an ever greater number of government services move to the Internet, there is a drive to ensure that citizens can be authenticated for any of these services using a single set of credentials. This provides benefits for the government in streamlining the authentication process and also for the citizen because they do not have to remember endless lists of usernames and passwords. This, in turn, increases security by making it less likely that citizens will write down their usernames and passwords and by focusing security efforts on implementing best practice in a single Enterprise Security System. In its Out-of-the-Box form, Universal Access uses its own authentication system which is backed up by a database of registered users. Universal Access can also be configured to integrate with External Security Systems.
