Banking and Modern Payments System Security AnalysisCSCJournals
Cyber-criminals have benefited from on-line banking (OB), regardless of the extensive research on financial cyber-security. To better be prepared for what the future might bring, we try to predict how hacking tools might evolve. We briefly survey the state-of-the-art tools developed by black- hat hackers and conclude that they could be automated dramatically. To demonstrate the feasibility of our predictions and prove that many two-factor authentication schemes can be bypassed, we have analyzed banking and modern payments system security.
In this research we will review different payment protocols and security methods that are being used to run banking systems. We will survey some of the popular systems that are being used today, with a deeper focus on the Chips, cards, NFC, authentication etc. In addition, we will also discuss the weaknesses in the systems that can compromise the customer's trust.
Keylogging, one of the unsafe malware, is the movement of recording the keys struck on a console with the end goal that the individual utilizing the console is obscure about the way that their activities are being watched. It has legitimate use in examination of human PC collaboration and is considered as the primary danger for business and individual exercises. It tends to be utilized to catch passwords and other secret data entered by means of the console. Subsequently, counteraction of keylogging is significant and severe validation is needed for it. Planning of secure confirmation conventions is very testing, taking into account that different sorts of root units dwell in Personal Computers to watch clients conduct. There are different keylogging procedures, stretching out from equipment and programming based techniques to acoustic assessment. Human contribution in confirmation conventions, however ensuring, isnt straightforward. This paper surveys different examination regions which spread convention confirmations utilized safely forestalling the representation of keylogging assaults. Dr. C.

Combat the Latest Two-Factor Authentication Evasion TechniquesIBM Security
In the wake of 2005 FFIEC regulation calling for stronger security methods, financial institutions have adopted two-factor authentication (2FA) as a means to mitigate online fraud.
Historically 2FA measures such as security questions, one time passwords, physical tokens, SMS authentications and USB tokens have been able to effectively stop fraud attacks. However, in the fast paced arms race that is the war against financial crime, cybercriminals are starting to take the upper hand by developing increasingly sophisticated techniques that bypass 2FA.
In this presentation, Ori Bach, Senior Security Strategist at IBM Trusteer demonstrates several of the 2FA beating techniques and explains how cybercriminals:
- Highjack authenticated banking sessions by directly taking over victims computers
- Make use fake overlay messages to trick victims to surrender their tokens
- Beat one time passwords sent to mobile devices
- Purchase fraud tool-kits to bypass 2FA

Learn about Data Protection solutions for enterprise.
Learn about the new trends in Data Masking, Tokenization and Encryption.
Learn about new Standards for masking from ISO and NIST.
Learn about the new API Economy and how to control access to sensitive data — both on-premises, and in public and private clouds.
This blog presentation discusses the growing significance of IoT Security Testing in a world where billions of devices are getting connected via the Internet of Things.
Smartphone is one of the important assets of today’s generation it makes people more responsive, productive and effective in work and in personal dealings. Remarkably it is used as the primary repository of individual confidential files because of its portability and reliability which provide a scheme to smartphone companies to embed security features and users install security application freely available in the market. In most various studies, facial recognition marked the highest security features. So, this study aims to develop a facial recognition application specifically for an android phone using a local binary histogram algorithm and V-Model to process the development of the application. Furthermore, this application is tested and evaluated by the experts with a score of 4.59 weighted mean “Excellent” based on its functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency and portability.
This talk focuses on how AI can be leveraged to solve some of the subproblems in cybersecurity. The talk will start with a discussion on why there is a surge in data breaches, and cybersecurity attacks? Then I will discuss some of the use cases, data pipeline, and architectural details of AI solutions for the cybersecurity. Here is a detailed plan for the talk:
(1) The current state of Information security and tools (5 mins).
(2) A brief history and current status of using AI for the InfoSec (5 mins).
Currently, security data science tools primarily process raw data from multiple data sources such as network flows, authentication logs, firewall logs, endpoints, and detect anomalous events. These tools generate a large number of false positives, and they need to be further investigated by security analysts. Specifically, I will address the following questions:
- What is the foundation of current security data science tools?
- What are the pros and cons of existing tools?
(3) AI use cases, data pipeline, architecture, and data experiments (15 mins): Following questions will be addressed:
- What are the different use cases that can be enabled by AI?
- How would it transform the incident response?
What's a typical data pipeline and architecture of cybersecurity AI solution?
Demo 1: PowerShell Obfuscation Detection using Deep Learning Neural Networks
Demo 2: Malicious URL Detection using Recurrent Neural Networks
(4) Challenges and limitations of using AI alone for cybersecurity (5 mins)
- AI generates too many false positives
- Enterprises can investigate only 2-5% of alerts due to the limited number of security analysts
Need for an automated response, not just detection
(5) Our approach: fuse deception with AI (10 mins):
A key objective of the deception is to deceive the inside-network attacks and threats to detect, engage, trap, and remediate them. Deception provides high fidelity alerts, and AI delivers an ability to construct context about the alert. By fusing deception and data science, security analysts can do proactive defense. We shall demonstrate our approach with specific case studies:
- Demo 3- Detecting and Inferring threats in a high interaction decoy using AI engine
(6) Q&A (5 mins)
There is no debate that companies large or small are more or less have put a lot of efforts in protect digital security and privacy with “best practice” recommendations, often use solutions from branded security vendors or built by best in-house/outsourced experts, yet they are falling prey of cyber and insider attacks, because “compliance” or “best practice” do not equal to security. The reality has shown us that traditional security approaches have fall behind the increased system complexity and advanced technical capabilities that have been mastered by adversaries.
The key weakness in our security defenses lies with the weakness of digital identities systems have been used to authenticate users (no system could defends against attacker impersonates legitimate user); follow by inability to validate the authenticity and integrity of communication (If attacker can temper with the data freely, then no need to crack the one time password) and finally incapable of protecting information from unauthorized accesses in an event of inevitable security breach because unknown system or application security vulnerabilities.
FrontOne’s information security solution addresses all security weakness listed above:
First, FrontOne uses its own digital identity that is harden to withstand advanced hackers using sophisticated real time attacks and help all its users from falling prey of identity thieves from phishing and malware attacks at client side to advanced persistent threats at the server side, because FrontOne’s digital identity is dynamic and non-transferable.
Second, FrontOne provides 100% message integrity by using dedicated and destination aware messaging system and ensure each and every message is completely unique; reducing the chance of attackers from being able to identifying and manipulating it for their benefit.
Finally, FrontOne uses its own method of protecting information at rest, in transit or in use, by focusing our innovation at the security and integrity of encryption key while using industry standardized cryptography. FrontOne’s user centric data protection solution uses dual control for its encryption keys. Random encryption key is protected with security key that has two parts, one part from the client side and other from the centralized key server. This arrangement ensures that access to protected data is available with the presence of the user device of the authorized user.
The security approaches FrontOne have taken above are further strengthened with its own patented technologies that introduce a dynamic element is each and every message and transaction, mutually authenticate both parties before a request is served and providing user with ultimate control that is not accessible digitally.
Lessons Learned in Automated Decision Making / How to Delay Building SkynetSounil Yu
There is much talk of topics like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation within the security industry. We are led to believe that these capabilities will revolutionize our security practices. However, we need to be conscious of the limits of these capabilities before we entrust them with matters of importance. To understand the limits, we need to understand what each of these capabilities really mean and how they fit together. Unfortunately, most people combine these capabilities and use the terms almost interchangeably. Doing so is dangerous and can create unintended consequences.
Passwordless is Possible - How to Remove Passwords and Improve Security SecureAuth
According to the latest Verizon Data Breach Report, breaches caused by stolen or weak credentials are on the rise – up to 81% in 2016. While there is no denying that we need to remove our dependency on the password as a primary method of authentication, the question remains how do we get there?
This SC Magazine-hosted Webinar featured SecureAuth CTO Keith Graham discussing how passwordless authentication is possible today, the considerations needed when moving to a password–free world and how removing passwords as your weakest link can increase security while providing a great user experience.
Distributed Immutable Ephemeral - New Paradigms for the Next Era of SecuritySounil Yu
We are rapidly approaching the next era of security where we need to be focused on the ability to recover from irrecoverable attacks. This can also be defined as resiliency. The traditional view of resiliency attempts to quickly restore assets that support services that we care about. This new approach/paradigm looks at resilience in ways that promote design patterns (distributed, immutable, ephemeral) where we do not care about a given asset at all while still keeping the overall service functioning. This new approach allows us to avoid having to deal with security at all.

A secure communication in smart phones using two factor authenticationeSAT Journals
Abstract Most secure systems face security attacks mainly at the client side. Two Factor Authentication (TFA) provides improved protection to the system at the client side by prompting to provide something they know and something they have. This system uses a one time password(OTP) generation method which doesn’t require client-server communication, which frees the system from cost of sending a dynamic password each time the client wants to login. The OTP generation uses the factors that are unique to the user and is installed on a smart phone in Android platform owned by the user. An OTP is valid for a minutes time, after which, is useless. The system thus provides better client level security – a simple low cost method which protects system from hacking techniques like key logging, phishing, shoulder surfing, etc. Keywords—Authentication, OTP, key logging, phishing

Three Step Multifactor Authentication Systems for Modern Securityijtsrd
Three factor authentication includes all major features in password authentication such as one factor authentication. Using passwords and two factor authentication is not enough to provide the best protection in the digital age significantly. Advances in the field of information technology. Even when one or two feature authentication was used to protect the remote control system, hacking tools, it was a simple computer program to collect private keys, and private generators made it difficult to provide protection. Security threats based on malware, such as key trackers installed, continue to be available to improve security risks. This requires the use of safe and easy to use materials. As a result, Three Level Security is an easy to use software. Soumyashree RK | Goutham S "Three Step Multifactor Authentication Systems for Modern Security" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-3 , April 2022, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd49785.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/computer-science/computer-security/49785/three-step-multifactor-authentication-systems-for-modern-security/soumyashree-rk
Android Based Total Security for System AuthenticationIJERA Editor
In this Paper [5], A highly severe menace to any computing device is the impersonation of an authenticate user. The most frequent computer authentication scheme is to use alphanumerical usernames and passwords. But the textual passwords are prone to dictionary attacks, eves dropping, shoulder surfing and social engineering. As such, graphical passwords have been introduced as an alternative to the traditional authentication process. Though the graphical password schemes provide a way of making more user friendly passwords, while increasing the level of security, they are vulnerable to shoulder surfing. To address this problem, text can be used in combination with the colors and images to generate the session passwords, thereby making a stronger authentication means. In general, session passwords are those that can be used only once and for every new session, a new password is engendered. This paper [7] describes a method of implementing two factor authentication using mobile phones. The proposed method guarantees that authenticating to services, such as online banking or ATM machines, is done in a very secure manner. The proposed system involves using a mobile phone as a software token for One Time Password generation. The generated One Time Password is valid for only a short user defined period of time and is generated by factors that are unique to both, the user and the mobile device itself. Additionally, an SMS-based mechanism is implemented as both a backup mechanism for retrieving the password and as a possible mean of synchronization. The proposed method has been implemented and tested. Initial results show the success of the proposed method.

2. Latest technologies give people the power to work wherever and whenever
they choose. Access from anywhere everywhere results in spectacular gains
in productivity and employee satisfaction, but enterprises that use simple
passwords to protect that access also risk financial loss, data theft, and
worse.
However, these security systems were put in place long
before the world was impacted by COVID-19 and the
consequent need virtually the entire world to go into
lockdown mode. As ‘work from home’ becomes the
norm, employers and employees have had to rapidly
adapt and search for new solutions across functions.
Passwords are the primary reason for many of the
infamous security breaches that happen across the
globe. According to the Data Breach Investigations
Report 2019, over 70% of employees reuse passwords at
work. The report finds a staggering “81% of
hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen and/or
weak passwords.”
Why is the venerable password such a colossal security
failure?
The root cause, not surprisingly, is us: we are too trusting and too lazy.
Successful cybercriminals are expert social engineers who design attacks
that capitalize on these all-too-human weaknesses. They use techniques like
phishing or brute force to get access to such vulnerable systems. Employee
education and safe password practices for business can mitigate these
attacks to some extent, but an effective solution lies in using multifactor
authentication.
This paper discusses authentication in general and multifactor authentication
solutions from ARX that combine ease of use with effectiveness – more so, in
a world battling the Coronavirus pandemic.
INTRODUCTION
81% of
hacking-related
breaches leveraged

weak passwords.
3. AN OVERVIEW OF AUTHENTICATION
Multifactor Authentication (MFA) or Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
requires an user to authenticate via two or more authentication factors
(‘something you know’ combined with a ‘something you have’ for example).
Since the chances of both factors being compromised are very low, MFA
results in a higher level of assurance that the individual attempting to
authenticate is actually the individual in question.
Authentication mechanisms can also be distinguished by whether they use
the same channel where the user accesses the application, or a separate
channel that is dedicated for authentication.
Authentication mechanisms can be
categorized as either:
Something you know
(a password or a PIN for
example).
Something you have
(a token or mobile phone
for example).
Something you are
(a fingerprint or other
biometric data for example).
4. BUSINESS CHALLENGES
The advent of mobility and remote access (triggered by a global lockdown
because of COVID-19) offers a rich array of benefits for both workers and
companies, including substantial increases in productivity and reductions
in costs. But it isn’t all good news. The growing remote workforce has
created some very serious security challenges for companies, both large
and small. There is an urgent need to authenticate and manage the
identities of users attempting to acquire access to companies’
proprietary data and systems.
For many organizations, a simple query-password system remains the
primary means of user authentication. But it is an unfortunate irony that
the most effective passwords are the most difficult to remember. As a
result, many users resort to an easy-to-remember, easy-to-hack password.
And more complex passwords are far more likely to be written down
somewhere instead of trusted to memory, rendering them more
susceptible to theft. But even the most complex password stored only in a
user’s memory provides no more than a very primitive level of security,
easily foiled by today’s technologically sophisticated cybercriminals.
Advanced password theft techniques such as phishing provide
cybercriminals with the means to steal passwords away from
unsuspecting users.
Moreover, in today’s world, it is not just important to consider security
during initial login, but also while users execute certain critical or high
value transactions. An MFA is a perfect solution to protect such high
value transactions by presenting the user with an additional challenge like
a OTP, smart OTP or token system, security questions or biometric
authentication.
Authentication Mechanisms – Top Features to
Consider in a Two-Factor Authentication
Solution
Maximizing the potential of a multifactor authentication methodology
requires the installation of a system that delivers a full range of key
capabilities and usability features. The following, in particular, should be
considered as must have features for multifactor authentication
solutions:
Passwords
A password is a shared secret known by the user and presented to the
server to authenticate him/her. Passwords are the default authentication
mechanism on the web today. However, poor usability and vulnerability to
large-scale breaches and phishing attacks make passwords an
unacceptable authentication mechanism in isolation.
Adding an extra
layer of security in
the form of
two-factor
authentication
certainly helps to
slow cybercriminals
by validating a
second factor —
such as a user’s
fingerprint or their
possession of a
trusted device –
access security
becomes far more
robust
5. These are small hardware devices that the owner carries to authorize
access to a network service. The device may be in the form of a smart card,
or it may be embedded in an easily-carried object such as a keychain or USB
drive. The device itself contains an algorithm (a clock or a counter), and a
seed record used to calculate the pseudo-random number. Users enter this
number to prove that they have the token. The server that is authenticating
the user must also have a copy of each key chain’s seed record, the
algorithm used and the correct time.
Hardware Tokens
These are software-based security token applications, typically running on a
smartphone, that generate an OTP for signing on. Software tokens have
some significant advantages over hardware tokens. Users are less likely to
forget their phones at home than lose a single-use hardware token. When
they do lose a phone, users are more likely to report the loss, and the soft
token can be disabled. Soft tokens are also easier and less expensive to
distribute than hardware tokens, which need to be shipped – a major
challenge when supply-chain logistics are interrupted as has happened
globally with the Coronavirus lockdown.
Soft Tokens
Passwords that reside in a user’s memory (or on a sticky note attached to
their desk or computer monitor) and are used over and over with each login
attempt are constantly exposed to theft. But one-time passwords are
another matter. Generated randomly, specifically and uniquely for each login
attempt, OTPs are used only once and then never again. So even if somehow
intercepted by a cybercriminal, an OTP will be useless in later attempting an
unlawful login attempt.
One-Time Password (OTP)
6. Biometric authentication offers an unbeatable combination of security and
convenience. Many biometric applications, for example, require only that
the user press a fingertip to a scanner. Biometric verification is typically very
easy and convenient for users, and yet provides a very effective defense
against illicit login attempts. Similarly, push authentication also offers an
extra layer of security with minimal inconvenience to the user. Response to
a push authentication requires no more than a tap of the fingertip to the
user’s phone. A multifactor authentication solution should offer either
biometric or push authentication, with the best solutions offering a choice
of one or the other to accommodate the user’s preference.
Biometric and Push Authentication
This process uses contextual information, such as geo-location, IP address,
time of day and device identifiers to determine whether a user’s identity is
authentic or not. Typically, a user’s current context is compared to a
previously recorded context in order to spot inconsistencies and identify
potential fraud. These checks are invisible to the authorized user so there are
no usability issues, but they can create a significant barrier to an attacker.
Contextual Authentication
The ultimate goal of any security solution should be to maximize protection
while minimizing user inconvenience. While second-factor authentication
provides a substantial boost in security, that extra factor of authentication
isn’t always needed. The best two-factor solutions have the ability to
determine when and if an explicit second factor of authentication is
required. The solution might determine, for example, that a login attempt
from a registered device perfectly mirrors that user’s behavioral history,
making it safe to drop the second factor requirement. The ability to
intelligently apply the security policy assures that the protection potential of
a two-factor solution is fully realized, and yet customizes each login
experience to minimize inconvenience to the user.
