Digest Authentication

Digest Authentication is a security method used to verify a user's identity when they access a website or app. Instead of sending your password directly over the internet, it creates a unique, encrypted code based on your password and some server details. This code is sent to the server to prove who you are without exposing your actual password, reducing the risk of interception. It's like a secret handshake that verifies you are authorized, but keeps your sensitive information safe from potential eavesdroppers during transmission.
