Two-factor authentication provides stronger security than single-factor authentication like usernames and passwords alone. It requires two factors: something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a token, smart card, or biometric). This makes hacking accounts more difficult as possessing just a password is not enough. While more secure, two-factor authentication also has costs that must be considered. Some companies have started implementing two-factor authentication to better protect their online customers and networks.
IRJET- Honeywords: A New Approach for Enhancing SecurityIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper on honeywords, a new approach for enhancing password security. Honeywords involve storing fake passwords (honeywords) along with the real password for each user account. If an attacker tries to login with a honeyword, it triggers an alarm. The document outlines the proposed system, which generates a unique honey index for each account during registration. It stores the hash of the real password along with the correct honey index. If an attacker enters an incorrect password after 3 attempts, the account is blocked. The system creates honeywords after successful login. It also discusses related work and concludes that honeywords make password cracking detectable and more difficult.

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.
The document discusses how customer involvement is crucial to defending against phishing attacks. While technology plays a role, phishing relies on tricking users into taking actions.

COUNTER CHALLENGE AUTHENTICATION METHOD: A DEFEATING SOLUTION TO PHISHING ATT...IJCSEA Journal
A counter challenge authentication method is presented for authentication of online users of web applications. The authentication method involves a counter challenge from a user to a web application asking to provide certain information from one or more user details recorded at the time of registration. The user enters his password and logs into the web application only in case the correct answer is received from the web application. This advanced authentication method protects online application users from phishing attacks. An incorrect answer or inability of the web application to provide the correct answer to the challenge is a clear indication of a phishing attack, thereby alerting the user and stopping submission of password to phishers. The authentication method is computer independent and eliminates dependency on two-factor authentication, hardware tokens, client software installations, digital certificates, and user defined seals.

Iaetsd fpga implementation of rf technology and biometric authenticationIaetsd Iaetsd
This document proposes using FPGA, RF technology, and face recognition for three-factor authentication in ATM security. The system uses an RF transmitter and receiver for the first authentication, a webcam for face recognition as the second authentication using PCA algorithms in MATLAB, and an existing text-based password for the third authentication factor. If an unauthorized person is detected, an alarm is triggered and an MMS is sent to the account owner for verification before access is granted. The system aims to improve upon existing smart card and password-based authentication systems.
Swivel provides a strong two-factor authentication solution that is easy to use and manage. It utilizes the user's mobile phone as the authentication token, sending one-time codes via call, SMS, or mobile app. This tokenless approach has advantages over hardware tokens, including no distribution or retrieval costs. Users combine the one-time code with a PIN for extraction into a single credential for authentication. While phishing could obtain these credentials, it does not enable ongoing access without the user's phone. Swivel's approach strengthens authentication over passwords alone with increased usability over other two-factor solutions.

It emphasizes the importance of strong passwords and changing them regularly.
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.

This document provides an introduction to identity verification and authentication in computer systems. It discusses how identity was traditionally based on things one has like keys or knows like passwords, but these can be stolen, lost, or forgotten. Biometrics offer a more reliable method of verification based on measurable physiological characteristics like fingerprints. The document outlines three main methods of authentication: something you know (like a password), something you have (like a smart card), and something you are (a biometric). Using two factors together provides greater security than a single factor alone.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for implementing two-factor authentication using mobile devices. The method uses time synchronous authentication based on hashing the current epoch time, a personal identification number, and a secret initialization value. This generates a one-time password on the mobile device that is valid for 60 seconds. The proposed method was implemented on J2ME-based mobile phones and could be extended to Android phones. It aims to provide stronger authentication than passwords alone in a manner that is portable and compatible with mobile devices.

The document discusses two-factor authentication (2FA) as a more secure alternative to single-factor authentication using just a username and password. 2FA provides an additional layer of security beyond just one credential by requiring two separate factors, such as something you know (a password) plus something you have (a token, smart card, or biometrics). While 2FA is more secure, it can also be slower and require the user to have their second authentication factor available at all times. Popular services like Facebook and Dropbox have implemented 2FA options to better protect user accounts and data.

The document summarizes the evolution of multi-factor authentication (MFA). It discusses how MFA began with concepts like using multiple keys and has evolved to incorporate digital methods like passwords and authentication apps on smartphones. Breaches and hacks in the 2000s and 2010s increased calls for stronger authentication, leading to MFA becoming more widely adopted. MFA provides increased security by requiring users to present two or more unique forms of authentication, such as something they know, have, or are, to verify their identity.
Abstract: Password authentication is one of the simplest and the most convenient authentication mechanisms to deal with secret data over insecure networks. Every user now holds email account for different web sites or holds a username password for their office work in their computer system. In this paper, we shall present the result of our survey through basic currently available password-authentication-related schemes. We know that Apart from getting the password hacked by some intruder, a serious threats comes from the surrounding environment, specially the colleagues, friends or visitors nearby the system. Most of them have a tendency of observing keenly while you cast your password. Here we propose a simple way to provide a new way of password through clicks that would provide a secure mechanism from both the intruders and the people nearby while you type your password in the application.

- Biometrics are evolving rapidly and adoption is increasing exponentially. When combined through multimodal authentication, biometrics are expected to permanently replace insecure password-based authentication.
- The document concludes by noting that the best architecture approach (device-centric vs. server-centric) for
Cyber Predicament by Text-Only Password SystemsHitoshi Kokumai
The document discusses the vulnerabilities of conventional password systems and proposes an alternative called the "Expanded Password System". It notes that passwords like "Iloveyou" and "1234" can easily be hacked. Current proposals to replace passwords, like biometrics or password managers, still rely on passwords and have their own flaws. The Expanded Password System turns low-entropy passwords into strong authentication, easing management burdens while deterring attacks and supporting existing schemes. It is being developed as an open standard and could provide a simple solution to password problems.
Ensuring digital trust in business involves prioritizing effective security measures, particularly for online transactions. Passwords initially served as a basic tool for establishing trust but have diminished reliability due to vulnerabilities. More advanced methods have since evolved, such as two-factor authentication using passwords and one-time passwords, or passwordless authentication with unique keys or biometrics. Biometric authentication leveraging individual traits now represents a pinnacle in security evolution, with fingerprints widely used for seamless user identification on devices. Businesses must safeguard customer data through robust security practices to gain trust in this digital era.

The statewide solution will provide identity and access management services including identity proofing, credential issuance, and token management to authenticate users before granting access to SHIN-NY data and related uses
This document discusses two-factor authentication in enterprises and outlines a vision for a "united" enterprise multi-credential system. It claims that using a single enterprise credential does not fully address authentication needs due to technical and privacy limitations. Currently, different two-factor authentication schemes like OTP, PKI, and CardSpace are managed separately, making unified deployment difficult. The presented vision is based on work on KeyGen2, which would allow an entity to issue and manage multiple user credentials through a single provisioning step, while each credential is optimized for specific use cases. This could offer users multiple authentication options through a single interface.
The document proposes novel one, two, and three-factor authentication methods for mobile devices based on public key cryptography without certificates. The methods provide strong security while being easy to implement and deploy. In the one-factor method, the device authenticates using a stored key pair.

It recommends revoking non-essential remote access, establishing login failure thresholds, disabling remote access when not in use, implementing robust logging, and educating users about phishing and social engineering risks. Further measures include adding additional authentication factors, restricting access by IP/MAC, limiting concurrent logins, and applying defense-in-depth techniques. System administrators and end users are advised to take precautions such as strong PIN practices, physically protecting tokens, and being wary of unsolicited communications seeking access information.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Two-Factor Authentication
Abstract
Today’s widespread use of single-factor authentication is in the midst of
change. Both corporate and personal assets are at risk against people trying
impersonating users and stealing money and information. Single-factor
authentication methods such as the basic username/password combination are no
longer sufficient enough.
Two-factor authentication provides a significant increase in security. No
longer will an un-secured password provide enough information to a hacker to
allow a breach in security. The password or pin number must be used in
conjunction the use of tokens, smart-cards or even biometrics. The combination
of the two factors will provide companies make sure of the people accessing
secure systems.

Two Factor Authentication
Introduction
If you are walking down the street and you ask for my name, how would you know I am
telling you the truth? Well, since you would have no real reason to doubt me, you may just take
my word on the matter. But if you were not a trusting sole, you may ask to see some
identification. At that point, burden of proof would be on me. I could either decline the offer to
prove my identity to you and just walk away, or I could reach for my driver’s license. Upon
seeing the driver’s license, you could either proceed with the conversation believing that my
driver’s license is real, or, you could just walk away or even report me to the authorities.
The identification process in a face-to-face setting is pretty much that straight-forward.
But in this day and age, how many times do we actually meet someone in person and have to
wonder if they are who they say they are? Nowadays, more and more people are conducting
business in cyberspace.
Corporate networks and the Internet have opened up the opportunity for many lucrative
business ventures. The aspect of identity authentication has become of a primary concern for all
kinds of businesses.
Single-Factor Authentication
The most prevalent authentication type in use today is single-factor authentication. In
short, single-factor authentication is your basic username/ password combination. The single
factor in this case is something you know; your password. Most business networks and most
internet sites use basic username/password combination to allow access to secured or private
resources.
4. Two-Factor Authentication - 4
Problems with Single-Factor Authentication.
How often are usernames and passwords utilized in the daily course of life? At the
workplace, employees have to log into their corporate network at least once a day. Some
companies still utilize multiple networks. Multiple networks add additional username/password
combinations to remember and use. Still many other companies with mainframe capabilities
require an additional login credentials. All of the different networks and mainframe’s then have
different password standards and different lengths of time until the password will need to be
changed.
The second 50% of the combination, the password, is the main component of the phrase
that is often miss-understood, miss-managed and too often taken for granted. Studies have
shown that many users write down their password, choose easily guessed passwords, constantly
re-use old passwords and sometimes share their passwords with other people. Technicians often
report finding users password on sticky notes under the keyboard, or just stuck on the side of
their monitor (Bigler 32).
The Microsoft Corporation has attempted to mitigate one of the inherit problems with the
username/password combination. Microsoft has been a proponent of the idea of using “Strong
Passwords.” Instead of having people use common names for password, Microsoft has detailed
the use of using a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters for passwords. While
guessing someone’s password will be more difficult if the password is “#$#rU78!”, the use of
strong passwords will still not deter individuals from writing their passwords down. In fact, the
use of “strong passwords” will likely increase the number of times someone jots down their
password, just so they do not forget it. (Wildstrom 26)
5. Two-Factor Authentication - 5
The common username/password combination is a form of single-factor authentication;
the single factor being the password. Another form of authentication, two-factor authentication,
is again starting to get noticed in the workplace. The increased use of two-factor authentication
is helping to mitigate most of the problems of the basic username/ password system.
If usernames are only utilized in the workplace then that might be something that an
individual can handle. However, the Internet has thousands of sites that require even more user
name and password combinations. This proliferation of “secure sites” causes individuals to
undermine the whole idea of personal security.
Many problems exist within the world of single-factor authentication. The first part of
username/password combination, the username, may seem non-threatening in a security sense.
However, in a single-factor authentication site, knowing the username, or even the current
naming convention of the usernames within an organization already give the potential
hacker/thief 50% of the information required to gain access to vital information.
A would be hacker with knowledge of correct usernames can then use specially designed
software to try to guess the password. Many people use their pet’s name as a password. Still
others use their social security number as their password. While still a few trusting soles use the
word “password” as their password. Many programs exist that will easily decipher passwords
that use common words or names within seconds.
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication provides a significant increase in security over the traditional
username/password combination. The two factors of two factor authentication are: something
you know and something you have. In the single-factor world of authentication, the password
6. Two-Factor Authentication - 6
was the “something you know” part. The additional factor, “something you have”, is the key
component.
The something you have component can either be tokens, smart cards, pin/tan’s, and
biometrics (to be discussed later).
Tokens display a set of numbers on a small screen. Usually, the set of numbers changes
every minute. This number then is joined with the user’s password, or pin number to create a
passcode. A correct passcode then authenticates the user to access the secure resources.
Smart Cards are used in combination with a Smart Card reader. The user will insert the
card and the card sends an encrypted message to the website or, the reader displays a unique
code that the user will enter.
PIN/TAN stands for personal identification number / transaction number. Consumers are
provided with a sheet resembling a bingo card that contains many different numbers. Each
number is used once to verify a transaction. The PIN/TAN method has grown in popularity in
Europe.
Biometric authentication uses biological aspects of the end user, such as fingerprints or
iris scans to provide authentication. Other methods of biometrics includes E-signatures and key-
stroke dynamics that not only record the final signature or word, but how the signature was either
written or typed. (Buss 20)
Immediately one can see the increased security of implementing some form of two-factor
security. Since part of the passcode is an ever changing number, the threat of eavesdropping or
password interception drops dramatically. Individuals may write down their pin number in order
to remember it, however, without the combined number from the key fob, the password becomes
useless.
7. Two-Factor Authentication - 7
Another side benefit of utilizing two-factor authentication is the decreased load on the
internal or contracted help desk. According to the Help Desk Institute, seventeen percent of all
calls are from individuals who have lost or forgotten their passwords. People will be less likely
to remember a static pin number and these types of calls to the help desk will drop. (Fogarty 68).
Biometrics used as the Second Factor.
The use of tokens, smart cards and key fobs are the primary second factor in two-factor
authentication. However, as technology advances, biometrics are taking and increasing role to
insure the identity of individuals trying to access resources.
“Biometric authentication is the verification of a user’s identity by means of a
physical trait or behavioral characteristic that can't easily be changed, such as a
fingerprint (Kay 26).”
An alternative to key fobs, tokens or smart cards, using biometrics as a part of two-part
authentication is a fairly old concept. While advances in technology make biometrics more
conceivable cost wise, adopting this concept still is the most expensive alternative for resource
security.
Biometric authentication comes in many different combinations. Seven types that are
going to be discussed are signature dynamics, typing patterns, eye scans, hand geometry,
fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, and facial recognition.
One of the most popular biometric choices is the signature dynamic authentications.
Signature dynamics do more than just record the final image of the signature. This technology
also records how the image was produced like the differences in pressure and the speed in which
the image was written. Because of the increased amount of variables, the electronic signature is
considered unforgeable (Kay 26).
8. Two-Factor Authentication - 8
Nationwide Building Society dropped its iris recognition technology in favor of
electronic signature pads after observing the results of an in-house study. The study concluded
that iris technology could not provide a close enough link between the identification of the
person and the completed transaction. Gerry Coppell, Technology Development Controller for
Nationwide states, “All the (iris) technology does is to say that ‘that person was standing there in
that point in time (E-Signatures 14).
MotionTouch produces the legally-compliant signature technology. The signature pad
has the ability to record the X and Y coordinates of the written signature, while also recording
the pens pressure. The following biometric data is captured in one signature: speed through the
letters, rhythm, direction, flow, pressure, and the final result (E-signatures 14).
Professional forgers maybe able to reproduce the final signature of another individual;
however MotionTouch feels that it will be virtually impossible to reproduce exactly how the
signature was created.
Trials that included e-signature technology are reporting to show no false accepts or
rejects (E-signatures 14).
Another reason why Nationwide switched to e-signatures was the comfort level of the
end-users. People are more comfortable writing down their signatures when compared with
having their iris’s scanned. Coppell states, “It’s something they’re used to (E-signatures 14).”
Typing pattern technology is similar to signature dynamics. The same way that the e-
signature are recorded, typing pattern biometrics record the intervals between characters and the
overall speed and pattern of typing.
9. Two-Factor Authentication - 9
Eye scans, or iris scans receive a lot of media attention and seems to be the sexy
biometric to speak of. Iris scan technology has provided many sub-plots in movies and
television.
Many people are uncomfortable with iris scan technology. The ideas of having a laser
scan any part of your body, much less and eyeball raises many health and safety concerns.
However, these concerns are unfounded, and mostly based on myths.
Iris scans do not use lasers to scan your eyes. A recognition camera takes a black and
white photograph and uses and non-invasive, near infrared illumination that is barely visible and
very safe (Davis 32).
Fingerprints are a unique biometric that have been used for decades to identify
individuals. Fingerprint recognition technology also takes up relatively little space for either the
hardware, or the data they capture. However, the general public is uneasy about having their
fingerprints captured and stored. Until the general public can overcome this objection,
fingerprint recognition authentication devices will remain an option, but not the first choice (Kay
26).
Hand or palm geometry devices are similar take fingerprint recognition devices one step
further. These devices measure the entire hand and measure the length and angle of individual’s
fingers. This method is much more user-friendly than retinal scan devices, however the
hardware that supports these devices are bulky and hot easily transported (Kay 26).
Voice recognition devices verify the speaker’s voice against stored patterns of speech,
and facial recognition measures the contours of the face. Features like the outlines of the eye
sockets, cheekbones, sides of the mouth, and exact location of the nose and eyes. Hairline
10. Two-Factor Authentication - 10
features are usually not examined because of the natural tendency of change in the hairline area
(Kay 26).
Pros and Cons of Two-Factor Authentication.
While two-factor authentication may seem like the perfect cure-all for securing networks
and resources, there are many security holes that this type of authentication will not protect
against.
Fake websites provide would-be hackers a way of getting personal information from
individuals. The ‘store-front’ looks authentic, and the user ends up entering information like
credit card numbers, social security numbers and bank account information directly into the
hands of an identify thief. Two-factor authentication can not protect someone against this type
of man-in-the-middle attack.
Another type of security breech is if the would-be hacker already has access the computer
itself. Then when the user accesses either company or internet resources, the attacker then
attempts to piggyback on the transmission and either perform fraudulent transactions, or access
secure resources. Trojan horse attacks like this one also cannot be prevented with two-factor
authentication (Schneier 136)
One last factor that may inhibit the introduction of two-factor authentication is the cost.
In a two-factor authentication scheme where the second factor is the use of key fobs, or tokens,
the costs of those devices alone can be any where between $75 and $100 per token. (Wine 13)
For a company that employ’s hundreds of personnel, this initial cost can be quite high. For a
company that has thousands of customers online, the cost of the tokens alone could reach into the
millions of dollars. Then there is the cost of the infrastructure needed to support the system.
Servers, licensing, Administrators and support personnel have to be compensated, server
11. Two-Factor Authentication - 11
hardware must be kept up-to-date, and support costs and product licensing must be paid. At first
thought, only companies with deep pockets might be able to afford the ability to use this
functionality. However, as Franklin Curtis of Network Computing states, “Every authentication
system carries costs, even if you're using the authentication capabilities included in your network
operating system or enterprise application…..And even with the simplest authentication
schemes, developing a user database, assigning privileges, training and supporting users, and
maintenance costs must be factored in.” (Curtis 36)
Two-Factor Authentication in Industry.
Even though two-factor authentication has been around for decades, its adoption into the
business world has been slow. However E-Trade Financial and Bank of America have recently
adopted this technology to protect their online customer base.
E-trade Financial adopted two-factor security with a pilot that began in December of
2004. After an initial pilot of 240 users, E-trade is going to offer free authentication tokens for a
select group on individuals. Security traders with more than $50,000 in combined assets, or
individuals who regularly trade more than five trades a month will receive these tokens. E-Trade
has partnered with Digital Security ID to help implement these improved security standards.
Opponents of implementing token based authentication say that keeping up with the
token will be an inconvenience. E-Trade President, Lou Klobuchar states, “"If
they care about this, and they want this additional level of security, we're providing them with a
solution. If there was no inconvenience whatsoever to using it, it wouldn't be much of a solution.
(Trombly: 16)"
Bank of America also has implemented a different form of two-factor security. By year-
end 2005, Bank of America will utilize Passmark Security’s image-based system called SiteKey.
12. Two-Factor Authentication - 12
Gayle Wellborn, B of A’s online products and servicing executive, states that while this
additional security will start out as an option, eventually, this will become mandatory for all of
their 13.2 million online banking customers (Will 7).
B of A is implementing this additional technology in response of a lawsuit by a Miami
businessman. A cyber criminal from Latvia used a key-logging program to get account
information from the business owner, and used that information to get $90,000 wired to his
personal account (Trombly 24).
Instead of using a token and randomly generated numbers to authenticate to the banking
network, customers will enroll into the system by picking an image they will remember, writing
a phrase, and then selecting three challenge questions (Will 7).
On future visits, the customer will enter their user name and then the image they selected
will be displayed on the screen, along with the phrase they input upon registration. The image
and phrase will then confirm to the user that they are on an authentic B of A website, and not a
counterfeit site (Will 7).
Avivah Litan, a vice president and research director at Gartner Inc. in Stamford, Conn.,
said she has been recommending the imaged-based concept to banks, stating that the Passmark
Security concept is a very practical method for implementing mutual, two-way, two-factor
authentication (Will 7).
Conclusion
Heightened security methods are here to stay. Some companies are trying to increase
their own security by tightening existing password policies. To increase security at a company to
remain nameless, these following rules were implemented:
13. Two-Factor Authentication - 13
Table 1:
Example of One Companies attempt to secure a username/password combination
Password Expiration No Shorter than 90 days
Password History Enforced for five iterations
Password length Six to eight characters
Password Composition One lower case letter
One number
NO special characters
If the password needs to be written down Should be done in a secure manner.
Note:Date taken from “Password Standards Can Improve Agency Workflows and Carrier
Security.” By Alvito Vaz
Security cannot be taken for granted. Security ‘improvements’ like the ones stated above
illustrate the fact that the people making these ‘improvements’ do not have any idea about true
security features.
Passwords that expire no sooner than 90 days are susceptible to eavesdropping. Having a
password history of only five iterations increases the ability to guess passwords through pattern
matching. Password lengths of a maximum of eight characters are not long enough. By not
allowing special characters, the password can be easily guessed. Lastly, there is actually a policy
in place about how to write down passwords.
Most companies, 87% according to a recent study, rely solely on user identification and
passwords for authentication. Even though still in their infancy, the use of tokens, smart cards
and biometrics drop unauthorized access breaches drop from typically to just 3% (Hackers 32).
Companies will slowly realize that addition security features will be required. Two-
factor authentication will slowly be adopted into mainstream corporate America. More and
more, companies will implement some of the authentication methods discussed here. However,
what about the future? If the token-based method of authentication goes into critical mass, there
could be a time where individuals have to keep up with multiple tokens for different logins.
14. Two-Factor Authentication - 14
RSA Security already has a process in place to combat the overuse of token-based
authenticators. Currently, companies using RSA technology have internal servers providing the
authentication against the random numbers produced by the tokens. The service that RSA can
now provide would authenticate an individual’s token against RSA host servers. This will allow
individuals to and from RSA secured sites without having to maintain multiple tokens (Wolfe 1).
While two-factor authentication will have to undergo a ramp-up period of any number of
years for the general population to grasp, the online threats to both personal and business assets
and resources will only increase over time. Tokens, smart-cards, and biometric authentication
methods will become as common place soon as the regular ATM and pin numbers are now.
