In the past two decades, the number of mobile products being created by companies has grown exponentially. However, although these devices are constantly being upgraded with the newest features, the security measures used to protect these…
Mobile device users avoiding observational attacks and coping with situational impairments may employ techniques for eyes-free mobile unlock authentication, where a user enters his/her passcode without looking at the device. This study…
Nowadays, most mobile devices support biometric authentication schemes like fingerprint or face unlock. However, these probabilistic mechanisms can only be activated in combination with a second alternative factor, usually knowledge-based…
We present a theoretical framework for the analysis of privacy and security tradeoffs in secure biometric authentication systems. We use this framework to conduct a comparative information-theoretic analysis of two biometric systems that…
Android unlock patterns remain quite common. Our study, as well as others, finds that roughly 25\% of respondents use a pattern when unlocking their phone. Despite known security issues, the design of the pattern interface remains unchanged…
Alphanumeric authentication routinely fails to regulate access to resources with the required stringency, primarily due to usability issues. Initial deployment did not reveal the problems of passwords, deep and profound flaws only emerged…
Passkeys have recently emerged as a passwordless authentication mechanism, yet their usability in captive portals remains unexplored. This paper presents an empirical, comparative usability study of passkeys and passwords in a Wi-Fi hotspot…
Password managers encourage users to generate passwords to improve their security. However, research has shown that users avoid generating passwords, often giving the rationale that it is difficult to enter generated passwords on devices…
Biometric systems are the latest technologies of unique identification. People all over the world prefer to use this unique identification technology for their authentication security. The goal of this research is to evaluate the biometric…
The success of a web application is closely linked to its performance, which positively impacts user satisfaction and contributes to energy-saving efforts. Among the various optimization techniques, one specific subject focuses on improving…
Despite years of research on testing the usability of mobile applications, our understanding of the issues their users experience still remains fragmented and underexplored. While most earlier studies has provided interesting insights, they…
Researchers have extensively explored how password creation policies influence the security and usability of user-chosen passwords, producing evidence-based policy guidelines. However, for web authentication to improve in practice, websites…
Since the introduction of bcrypt in 1999, adaptive password hashing functions, whereby brute-force resistance increases symmetrically with computational difficulty for legitimate users, have been our most powerful post-breach countermeasure…
- Like consumer electronic products, medical devices are becoming more complicated, with performance doubling every two years. With multiple commands and systems to negotiate, cognitive load can make it difficult for users to execute…
This work is an implementation of a multifactor authentication SMS based result checking system. The objectives of this work were to improve on the available authentication methods and apply it on examination result checking system. The…
A common approach to securing end-to-end connectivity between devices on the Internet is to utilise a cloud-based intermediary. With this reliance upon a third-party comes a set of security and privacy concerns that are difficult to…
Authentication plays a significant part in dealing with security in public and private sectors such as healthcare systems, banking system, transportation system and law and security. Biometric technology has grown quickly recently,…
