Authentication and authorization are two tightly coupled and interrelated concepts which are used to keep transactions secure and help in protecting confidential information. This paper proposes to evaluate the current techniques used for…
Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of distributed sensor nodes so that potential risks are becoming more and more unpredictable. The new entrants pose the potential risks when they move into the secure zone. To build a door…
We perform a comprehensive analysis and comparison of 14 web single sign-on (SSO) systems proposed and/or deployed over the last decade, including federated identity and credential/password management schemes. We identify common design…
Identity-based software signing tools aim to make software artifact provenance verifiable while reducing the operational burden of long-lived key management. However, there is limited cross-tool longitudinal evidence about which usability…
Vulnerable individuals have a limited ability to make reasonable financial decisions and choices and, thus, the level of care that is appropriate to be provided to them by financial institutions may be different from that required for other…
Financial inclusion depends on providing adjusted services for citizens with disclosed vulnerabilities. At the same time, the financial industry needs to adhere to a strict regulatory framework, which is often in conflict with the desire…
Identity-based code signing enables software developers to digitally sign their code using cryptographic keys. This key is then linked to an identity (e.g., through an identity provider), allowing signers to verify both the code's origin…
Usable and secure authentication on the web and beyond is mission-critical. While password-based authentication is still widespread, users have trouble dealing with potentially hundreds of online accounts and their passwords. Alternatives…
With the rapid development of power distribution systems (PDSs), the number of terminal devices and the types of delivered services involved are constantly growing. These trends make the operations of PDSs highly dependent on the support of…
Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to authenticate to third-party applications through a central identity provider. Despite their wide adoption, deployed SSO systems suffer from privacy problems such as user tracking by the identity…
We introduce LOCATHE (Location-Enhanced Authenticated Key Exchange), a generic protocol that pools location, user attributes, access policy and desired services into a multi-factor authentication, allowing two peers to establish a secure,…
With the latest developments in technology, extra and extra human beings depend on their private gadgets to keep their touchy information. Concurrently, the surroundings in which these gadgets are linked have grown to grow to be greater…
It is practically impossible for users to memorize a large portfolio of strong and individual passwords for their online accounts. A solution is to generate passwords randomly and store them. Yet, storing passwords instead of memorizing…
Next generation mobile networks are poised to transition from monolithic structures owned and operated by single mobile network operators into multi-stakeholder networks where various parties contribute with infrastructure, resources, and…
When users want to establish wireless communication between/among their devices, the channel has to be bootstrapped first. To prevent any malicious control of or eavesdropping over the communication, the channel is desired to be…
Data spaces represent an emerging paradigm that facilitates secure and trusted data exchange through foundational elements of data interoperability, sovereignty, and trust. Within a data space, data items, potentially owned by different…
As V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology becomes increasingly prevalent, the security of V2X networks has garnered growing attention worldwide. In North America, the IEEE 1609 series standards are primarily used, while Europe adopts the…
A myriad of authentication mechanisms embody a continuous evolution from verbal passwords in ancient times to contemporary multi-factor authentication. Nevertheless, digital asset heists and numerous identity theft cases illustrate the…
The rapid evolution in mobile devices and communication technology has increased the number of mobile device users dramatically. The mobile device has replaced many other devices and is used to perform many tasks ranging from establishing a…
Privacy and security are often intertwined. For example, identity theft is rampant because we have become accustomed to authentication by identification. To obtain some service, we provide enough information about our identity for an…
