 <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
 <p>When provisioning software (partly) to targets, one has to rely upon the trustworthiness of both the network and the target. Even if everything is under your control and governance, one cannot entirely be sure that unwanted access takes place. A first step in order to prevent unwanted access is <em>authentication</em>, which gives you the ability to verify the identity of someone. Once the identity is known, one can apply <em>authorization</em> in order to determine what actions are allowed and which are not.
 In this article, the recently added authentication layer of ACE is explained in more depth, and some details on how extensions can be written for additional mechanisms are given. The remainder of this article assumes the reader has basic knowledge of the principles behind ACE, and has sufficient programming skills. For this article, the latest code of ACE (0.8.1-SNAPSHOT, rev.1329269) was used.</p>
