OpenID Connect - a simple[sic] single sign-on & identity layer on top of OAut...Brian Campbell
Identity is ubiquitous. Regardless of the kind of applications you develop you will, at some point, almost certainly have to deal with identifying users of the app. Yet it's seldom a central part of the app’s value proposition and rarely a core competency for developers. Wouldn’t it be nice to outsource user authentication and free yourself from the liability and complexity of storing and managing passwords? OpenID Connect, just ratified earlier this year and backed by some big industry names, is emerging as the go to standard way to do exactly that. Connect allows you to easily and securely get an answer to the question: “What is the identity of the person currently using this browser or native app?” Unlike some of it’s predecessors, however, Connect has roots spanning the consumer, SaaS and enterprise space and is better suited to serve a diverse set of deployments. Come find out more about Connect in this talk from a seasoned veteran of the prestigious basement conference rooms at GlueCon.

An Overview on Authentication Approaches and Their Usability in Conjunction w...IJERA Editor
The usage of sensitive online services and applications such as online banking, e-commerce etc is increasing day by day. These technologies have tremendously improved making our daily life easier. However, these developments have been accompanied by E-piracy where attackers try to get access to services illegally. As sensitive information flow through Internet, they need support for security properties such as authentication, authorization, data confidentiality. Perhaps static password (User ID & password) is the most common and widely accepted authentication method. Online applications need strong password such as a combination of alphanumeric with special characters. In general, having one password for a single service may be easy to remember, but controlling many passwords for different services poses a tedious task on users online applications . Usually users try to use same password for different services or make slight changes in the password which can be easy for attacker to guess adding increased security threat. In order to overcome this, stronger authentication solutions need to be suggested and adapted for services based network.
CASE STUDY ON PKI & BIOMETRIC BASED APPLICATIONPankaj Rane
Public Key Infrastructure is a widely deployed security technology for handling key distribution and validation in computer security. Despite PKI’s popularity as a security solution, Phishing and other Man-in-the-Middle related attacks are accomplished with ease throughout our computer networks. The major problems with PKI come down to trust, and largely, how much faith we must place in cryptographic keys alone to establish authenticity and identity.
In this paper, we look at a novel biometric solution that mitigates this problem at both the user and certificate authority levels. More importantly, we examine the trouble with the application of unprotected biometric features directly into PKI, and propose the integration of a secure, revocable biometric template protection technology that supports transactional key release. A detailed explanation of this new Biometric application is provided, including composition, enrollment, authentication, and revocation details. The Biometric provides a new paradigm for blending elements of physical and virtual security to address pesky network attacks that more conventional approaches have not been able to stop.
IDENTITY PLATFORMS: How central, flexible, deployment of multiple authenticat...Entrust Datacard
Identity and authentication management, or IAM, represents the greatest security return on investment an organization can make. Former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States, Richard Clarke, once famously said, "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked." Many analysts concur that spending on strong authentication provides the greatest security return on investment. This educational white paper, written by Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest and Executive Editor of securitycurrent, explores the concept of identity platforms.
• How to fix intrinsic weaknesses in authentication regimes that result in gaping and trivially exploitable vulnerabilities
• Explore the core features of an authentication and identity platform
• Examine specific features and components organizations should require in a software authentication platform
E-Lock AdaptAuth is an AI-powered, Adaptive, Multi-factor Authentication solution that provides an advanced layer of protection in the form of Adaptive MFA. Adaptive authentication utilizes information such as IP addresses, geo-locations, device signatures and user behavior patterns to assess the risk and accordingly adapts the authentication flow.This is achieved by building a risk profile for every user by analyzing past authentication attempts and behavioral patterns. The extent of deviation from such patterns invokes additional MFA factors until desired levels of identity assurance are achieved.
Capabilities provided by AdaptAuth:
Basic Authentication
Two-factor authentication- App based OTP, Email/SMS OTP, Digital Certificate, Fingerprint, FIDO2 authentication
Multi-factor Authentication

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

7. Why FIDO
ü Complements current standard
protocols
ü Supports a surrogate model for
authentication and access
ü Abstracts user authentication
from the application
ü Change authentication
without impacting application
8. Key Value Points
• Single credential – multiple uses
o Strong Authentication: Proof of identity based on vetted credential & PIN
o Privacy Enhancing: Private data stored within user’s device, not shared
with Relying Party
o Standards-Based: Fast Identity Online (FIDO)
o Compliance: Leverages native cryptography in smartphone, meets NIST
requirements for Derived Credentials
o Storage: Can support secure container as a storage mechanism.
9. Why is this important
• Identity is going mobile
• Democratize identity – breaking identity silos
• Improve the user experience
• Enable a richer & more secure experience by combining
authentication within the conversation
• Regulations are changing to protect user
• Improves customer insights – providing user, device &
transactional information
• Reduces fraud
11. The problem
• Conversational interfaces are not a point to point
solution
o User to cloud to bot
o Bot to cloud to bot
o User to cloud to bot cloud to bot
• Conversational bots have one identity but multiple
personas
o In one they are the RP – looking to authenticate the user for a transaction
o On the following one they are the user – looking to transact with another RP –
becoming the surrogate to the end user
o Identity systems must be able to offer such flexibility
• FIDO can enable it
• Surrogating , Federation , Strong Authentication
• How to conveniently authenticate the user delivering a
natural experience
12. How it relates to this
event
• A user centric identity focus can drive adoption and
introduce new services delivers by conversational
assistants.
13. Identity is more than just
security
• Mobile identity can break down the application silos by
abstracting the authentication activity and creating a
an experience that obfuscates the background
complexity
• High assurance authentication enables commerce &
new services by offering secure & private transactions
• Authentication must become part of the conversational
• Authentication will become dynamic based on the
company & risk requirements
