AuthIP, or Authentication Internet Protocol, is a protocol used to provide authentication and security for network communications, particularly in the context of securing connections over the Internet. It is part of the suite of authentication mechanisms designed to ensure that data transmitted over a network is done securely, helping to prevent unauthorized access and protecting sensitive information. AuthIP is commonly associated with Microsoft's implementations in Windows environments, where it is used as part of the Network Access Protection (NAP) and other security features.
