Explanation

Continuous authentication does not just verify identity at login - it applies verification mechanisms throughout the entire session. Specifically, it can apply a digital signature algorithm to every bit of data transmitted from the claimant to the verifier, ensuring that all communication originates from the authenticated party and has not been tampered with mid-session. This prevents session hijacking after initial login. Dynamic authentication uses one-time passwords or challenge-response mechanisms only at the point of login. Robust authentication generally refers to strong multi-factor methods but does not imply per-bit signing of ongoing data.
