Definitions of authentication server:

• The Authentication Server contributes to a document's trail of evidence and custody. Specifically the AS creates a record of the instant when the Custodial Utility assumes control of a document on the behalf of its owner. An AS ties together signer and document authentication to corroborate the information's origin and the time of origin. The Authentication Server performs the authentication operation with great speed and accuracy.

• Authentication servers are servers that provide authentication services to users or other systems. Users and other servers authenticate to such a server, and receive cryptographic tickets. These tickets are then exchanged with one another to verify identity.
