Two-factor authentication

Authentication With the rapid growth of Web-based applications, the Internet is a perfect target for hackers. Attacking an individual person or a multi-billionaire company is achievable in a click of a button. Today, almost everything is done by means of using the Internet, from simple email access to paying bills online, managing online banking, filling out taxes, shopping, and so on. As a result, the Internet has become a feeding ground for hackers. These presents a great deal of concerns and challenges for the organization’s security. Users are constantly demanding new applications and features with easy to use interfaces. Conversely, they are worried about increasing dangers. These demands from users creates a wide range of attack from…

Abstract— The focus of this paper is to use Mobile-OTP and QR code in online banking authentication system to provide the best hacker security. Recently, personal information has been leaked through a high degree of methods, such as phishing or pharmacy, to capture user IDs and passwords. This will result in an inappropriate ID / password being propagated between different users; thus a secure user authentication system is essential. In this paper, we use a different technology to provide a…

attacks. Hackers have numerous tactics at their disposal for obtaining or destroying data. Viruses can record passwords, delete or infect files, and can cause a computer to stop working altogether. An open wi-fi connection provides an opportunity for a hacker to steal private information, or, even worse, perform illegal activities. A network that is secure should have many components to combat various threat types. Some of those components should include intrusion detection and prevention…

• Custom implementation of authorization and authentication schemes should not be implemented unless they are tested properly [ ]. • Back up policies such as Continuous Data Protection (CDP) should be implemented in order to avoid issues with data recovery in case of a sudden attack [96]. • Additionally, they should be aware if the virtual network infrastructure used by the cloud provider is secured and the various security procedures implemented to ensure the same [25]. Paper [] discusses…

for each user to have a lock for their own workspace and a private set of files (Hiscott). From the 1980s to 1990s, passwords evolved to include cryptographic hash, DES-based cryptography, salting, and strength checking. Cryptographer Robert Morris created a one-way encryption method, known as hashing, to convert passwords into numerical values (Hiscott). UNIX-based systems now use salting, a technique that adds characters to a password before converting it via a cryptographic function to…

Commonwealth Bank of Australia(CBA) used a new technology called two-factor authentication program for the online banking service. "Customers tell us that stronger Internet security is important and so we have decided to make NetCode security available to all NetBank customers. All customers can now register for NetCode SMS within NetBank," Cameron(2007)said. Cameron is the executive member of CBA’s group. Commonwealth Bank of Australia provided the free NetCode SMS which will freely send the…

When OpenID was first created and starting to be used by major companies as their go-to single sign-on solution, people were skeptical. Today, it is used just about everywhere and people do not usually think twice before using it to log into their favorite website. We will explore how the improvements OpenID has made over the years have caused it along with OAuth to become some of the most widely used cross-site authentication protocols. In this paper, we will also touch on what flaws still…

What form of authentication best meets the Person or Entity Authentication standard for different healthcare applications? The personal or entity authentication requires that all people who are using the system are identified and authenticated (Security Standards: Technical Safeguards). The basic authentication requires that the individuals who want to access the system are well identified. The identity authentication is put in place so as to ensure that the individuals who want to access the…

Smart cards rely on two-factor authentication. The smart card can be locked, and only the user who possesses the card and knows the correct personal identification number (PIN) can unlock it. The Kerberos-based SSO on the other hand does not require password from the user. The smart card also has improved performance. Some sophisticated smart cards contain hardware-based encryption chips that can provide better throughput than software-based implementations. A smart card can also store a…

A thorough analysis was made on the VeriSign Certification Practice Statement (CPS) document to identify the type of security services addressed and if the document enforces and support the FISMA security controls. The CPS presentation of the capabilities demonstrated on the security services were equated to the security controls and how the security services can reduce risk impact. The CPS details the authentication and identification, access controls and the audit VeriSign’s certificate…
