callback

(communications, security)A user authentication schemeused by some computers running dial-up services. The userdials in to the computer and gives his user name andpassword. The computer then hangs up the connection anduses an auto-dial modem to call back to the user'sregistered telephone number. Thus, if an unauthorised persondiscovers a user's password, the callback will go, not to him,but to the owner of that login who will then know that hisaccount is under attack.

However, some PABXs can be fooled into thinking that thecaller has hung up by sending them a dial tone. When thecomputer tries to call out on the same line it is not actuallydialing through to the authorised user but is still connectedto the original caller.
