Authentication

Password strength Password complexity policies are designed to deter brute force attacks by increasing the number of possible passwords. When password complexity policy is enforced, new passwords must meet the following guidelines: • The password does not contain a dictionary word or the account name of the user or company. • The password is at least eight (8) characters long and can be up to 128 characters long. • The password contains characters from three of the following four categories: o…

The lock should require multi-factor authentication, such as a card swipe and an access PIN, or a biometric id check and a PIN. Preferably, the PIN entry keypad would randomize the position of the digits for each PIN entry attempt. The system should be connected to the network, be centrally configured…

[DOCUMENT TITLE] [Document subtitle] Table of Content Abstract Information technology has taken a further step in the fundamental development in the banking system. Over the years there has been high increase in the use of internet and mobile banking. As a new way of performing banking transaction through a distribution channels. The development and increase in the information technology on the banking system has made operations and service for financial institution…

Better results can be attained by the follows: A.) Secure mobile devices- the device must be trusted and be safe to accomplish transactions without the anxiety of infection or theft. Maximize authentication measures by using private keys and digital certificates. Enforce biometric security verification can be significant to protect devices. Next, having more efficient CPUs can be a progress to enable encryption technology in computers to be used…

TEST AND SECURITY EVALUATION PLATFORM Background Work: The need for safe and secure identity authentication is increasing day by day as the number of identity theft occurrences is growing. The strongest security is implemented within the hardware itself. There are two key concepts in designing for testability: Controllability and Observability. Controllability refers to the ability to apply test patterns to the inputs of a sub circuit via the primary inputs of the circuit. Observability refers…

As cloud service allows users to access their resources from anywhere on any device through the Internet. The network becomes a risky part in the process. An immediate connection to the web implies that the cloud framework is inclined to outages and service interruptions which could happen amidst a task or transaction causing delays or loss of time sensitive data. 3.1.1 Our strategies to Protect: Use security SDKs to encrypt your data Security software development kit (SDKs) are a great way to…

Nowadays, not many people can walk down the street without running into someone connected to cyberspace. The Internet of Things is a broad term used to define an entire system of devices connected to cyberspace that can communicate with one another. As shown in figure 1.1, there are many devices just at home that can be considered a part of the IoT. This figure is just a small example of all devices that are connected to cyberspace. The term IoT can cover phones, watches, laptops and just about…

their allocated privileges. There are three primary role that are used to define the role base access control 1) Role assignment: A subject can manipulate system objects only if the subject has selected or been assigned a role. The user authentication i.e. login is not considered as part of manipulating a system object. 2) Role authorization: the subject active roll must be authorized for the subject. With rule one it ensures that users could only take on role for which they are…

Information Security Breach these days has been a popular subject in news. Almost every companies have been hacked, if not yet, they should not consider themselves as more secure than others that have already been there. In December 2013, Target was one of the victims with more than 40 million credit cards and debit cards that were stolen by malicious people. Just right before Thanksgiving a malware was installed inside target database. So between November and December 2013, over 11GB of…

Ives, B., Walsh, K. R., & Schneider, H. (2004). The domino effect of password reuse. Communications Of The ACM, 47(4), 75-78. doi:10.1145/975817.975820 This is a brief cautionary article on the dangers of reusing a password across multiple applications. The authors give several examples of security breaches, but do not do a good job of illustrating that those security breaches were the direct or indirect result of a password re-use. Indeed, some of the incidents were a clear case of…
