In password-based authentication systems, the username fields are essentially unprotected, while the password fields are susceptible to attacks. In this article, we shift our research focus from traditional authentication paradigm to the…
In contemporary mobile user authentication systems, verifying user legitimacy has become paramount due to the widespread use of smartphones. Although fingerprint and facial recognition are widely used for mobile authentication, PIN-based…
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…
Rolling out a new security mechanism in an organisation requires planning, good communication, adoption from users, iterations of reflection on the challenges experienced and how they were overcome. Our case study elicited users'…
Two-factor authentication (2FA) schemes that rely on a combination of knowledge factors (e.g., PIN) and device possession have gained popularity. Some of these schemes remain secure even against strong adversaries that (a) observe the…
Considering computer systems, security is the major concern with usability. Security policies need to be developed to protect information from unauthorized access. Passwords and secrete codes used between users and information systems for…
Authentication is a process by which an entity,which could be a person or intended computer,establishes its identity to another entity.In private and public computer networks including the Internet,authentication is commonly done through…
The use of passwords and the need to protect passwords are not going away. The majority of websites that require authentication continue to support password authentication. Even high-security applications such as Internet Banking portals,…
Implicit authentication consists of a server authenticating a user based on the user's usage profile, instead of/in addition to relying on something the user explicitly knows (passwords, private keys, etc.). While implicit authentication…
Cause of a rapid increase in technological development, increasing identity theft, consumer fraud, the threat to personal data is also increasing every day. Methods developed earlier to ensure personal the information from the thefts was…
The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which is an inter connection of networks through an insecure public channel i.e. Internet demands for authenticating the remote user trying to access the secure network…
The traditional two-factor authentication (2FA) methods primarily rely on the user manually entering a code or token during the authentication process. This can be burdensome and time-consuming, particularly for users who must be…
Recent studies have shown how motion-based biometrics can be used as a form of user authentication and identification without requiring any human cooperation. This category of behavioural biometrics deals with the features we learn in our…
With the rise of attacks on online accounts in the past years, more and more services offer two-factor authentication for their users. Having factors out of two of the three categories something you know, something you have and something…
In this note we propose an encryption communication protocol which also provides database security. For the encryption of the data communication we use a transformation similar to the Cubic Public-key transformation. This method represents…
With an exponential increase in number of users switching to mobile banking, various countries are adopting biometric solutions as security measures. The main reason for biometric technologies becoming more common in the everyday lives of…
Mobile devices and technologies have become increasingly popular, offering comparable storage and computational capabilities to desktop computers allowing users to store and interact with sensitive and private information. The security and…
For secure communication it is not just sufficient to use strong cryptography with good and strong keys, but to actually have the assurance, that the keys in use for it are authentic and from the contact one is expecting to communicate…
As nowadays most web application requests originate from mobile devices, authentication of mobile users is essential in terms of security considerations. To this end, recent approaches rely on machine learning techniques to analyze various…
Mobile devices are more than just phones, they are a lifeline to the outdoor world, entertainment platform, GPS system, a little black book and a shopping and banking tool. What is not well known is that these devices are also gateways.…
