These days, the internet is an essential tool for all fields. Every aspect of life—individuals, organizations, businesses, trade, and governments—is subject to safety regulations for their online actions. For e-cash and identification papers to be accessible with a particular level of validity, they require various authorization and certification. Nonetheless, any entity's security and privacy in the digital realm are invariably compromised in one way or another. Authentication is in progress to confirm the identity of the person wishing to use a system's resources. However, there is a trade-off between these methods' security and usefulness. This study examines the state-of-the-art authentication techniques, methodologies, mechanisms, and protocols currently used. Given the growing use of authentication and the academics' apparent lack of interest in efficiency, it seemed relevant to examine it from an efficiency standpoint. Consequently, various efficiency-related cues are obtained, which may lead to the creation of both successful and efficient authentication methods.
