Social Engineering Resistant 2FA

Cryptography and Security 2020-01-20 v1

Abstract

Attackers increasingly, and with high success rates, use social engineering techniques to circumvent second factor authentication (2FA) technologies, compromise user accounts and sidestep fraud detection technologies. We introduce a social engineering resistant approach that we term device-aware 2FA, to replace the use of traditional security codes.
