Authentication and authorization can be major bottlenecks in system performance. The interaction of the resource with the security system can occur frequently and even seemingly fast response times add up to create overall performance degredation.
Unlike most applications that are server intense (such as a database driven application), security systems are network intensive applications. Firewalls, routers, circuits, encryption, decryption, digital signatures are involved in the overal security system response time.
A well designed security system will minimize the frequency of the interactions across the network, optimize the information being communicated and provide just the right information at just the right time to avoid interfering with the end applications performance.
