The document discusses user authentication technologies used by the US federal government. It outlines policies like HSPD-12 that mandate authentication standards and describes NIST standards for different assurance levels. PKI and one-time passwords are the primary technologies, with PKI providing additional security capabilities. Level 3 assurance is a common target level. Symantec provides both PKI and OTP cloud services to help government agencies meet requirements.
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

TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION - COMPREHENSIVE GUIDECTM360
Most services nowadays require signup and login procedures that are based on usernames and passwords. Unfortunately, single-factor authentication is not enough to protect accounts especially at the rate at which technologies are evolving, as hackers become more sophisticated and are able to compromise accounts in a matter of seconds. To top it all off, every year billions of usernames and passwords are stolen and sold on dark web markets, and as a result, many users become victims to identity theft and data loss.

Managing credentials on-premise and in the cloud.
With over 12 million users worldwide, Hitachi ID Password Manager is the leading credential management solution. It lowers IT support cost and improves user service by eliminating problems and diverting resolution to self-service.
Password Manager includes password synchronization, single sign-on and self-service password reset.
http://hitachi-id.com/password-manager/
Most organizations recognize the benefits of single sign-on (SSO): Users love it because they have only one password to remember; security teams love it because they can require that one password to be strong; and management loves it because it boosts productivity while reducing password reset calls.
But how secure is your SSO? A great user experience sometimes means sacrificing security. And even the strongest passwords won’t protect you from the misuse of stolen credentials.
Discuss the shortcomings of traditional SSO and how an adaptive approach can strengthen security while still delivering an amazing user experience.

Learn how to comply with PCI DSS 3.2's MFA mandate for admin and user accounts.
3 reasons your business can't ignore Two-Factor AuthenticationFortytwo
Login security breaches have become commonplace in recent years. We hear about phishing attacks, stolen passwords and malware that collects all of our keystrokes. Once these data breaches would have instigated a call to use stronger and more complex passwords, however research has shown that two-thirds of all breaches are specifically the result of weak or stolen passwords. The one-time reliable password has become the weakest link.
This is where two-factor authentication (2FA) steps in.
Two-factor authentication is a simple yet an extremely powerful way of increasing security via the user logon sequence by simply adding a second factor of authentication to the standard username and password.

Image Based Password Authentication for Illiterate using Touch screen by Deep...Deepak Yadav
Image based password authentication using touchscreen basically designed for illiterate for their security system.Since image are easily to recall than strings of character.
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.

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
Adaptive Authentication

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

OMB M-04-04 defines four levels of identity assurance for electronic
transactions requiring authentication, where the required level of
assurance is defined in terms of the consequences of authentication
errors and the misuse of credentials.
Level 1 – Little or no confidence in the asserted identity
Level 2 - Some confidence in the asserted identity
Level 3 - High confidence in the asserted identity
Level 4 - Very high confidence in the asserted identity
4. OMB M-04-04 E-Authentication Guidance
• Requires agencies to review new and existing electronic transactions to
ensure that authentication processes provide the appropriate level of
assurance.
1. Conduct a risk assessment of the e-government system.
2. Map identified risks to the applicable assurance level.
3. Select technology based on e-authentication technical guidance.
4. Validate that the implemented system has achieved the required

17. Summary
• The two primary user authentication technologies in use today are PKI and
OTP. Symantec delivers/supports both of these for government customers
via cloud services.
• While both PKI and OTP are used for e-authentication, only PKI can deliver a
full suite of security services including confidentiality, integrity and non-
repudiation.
• OTP solutions are more likely to be used for remote access and external
constituent access to government services because of their reduced cost and
complexity.
• NIST SP 800-63-1 Level 3 assurance is the target for most applications
involving personally identifiable information and/or valuable transactions.
• Experian and Symantec have collaborated to provide a suite of integrated
identity proofing and authentication services that supports NIST SP 800-63-1.
• In the future government agencies are expected to transition from being
providers of credentials to accepting identity credentials issued by external
identity providers.
Editor's Notes
The best practice for authentication, and the solution required by many regulatory and industry mandates, is to deploy a strong authentication solution. But what is strong authentication? Strong authentication is a way of identifying a user or device using more that one authentication factor.An authentication factor can be something you know, something you have, or something you are:“Something you know” is the category into which traditional passwords fall. You know your username and password; however, it can be other information known only to you and the organization to which you need to authenticate.“Something you have” is the category of authentication factors that includes traditional one-time-password tokens but can also include a digital certificate installed on a user’s machine or on a smart card.“Something you are” is a way of authenticating based on a trait inextricably tied to the user, such as a fingerprint. More generically, “something you are” can also refer to the sum total of past behaviors and interactions the user has had with the organization – a user who behaves in a different way from you and the organization’s interactions with you in the past is probably not you.Strong authentication combines two or more of these factors, dramatically increasing the difficulty of impersonating an individual. If, for example, an enterprise requires a username/password with a one-time-password token to access the network, then someone would now need to steal both the user’s password and their token in order to be able to impersonate the user. This is far more difficult than simply stealing a password, and is therefore more resilient to attack.
PKI requires several security elements to be working in concert in one complete solution.First, it’s Strong Authentication—two factor authentication that prevents unauthorized access to apps and remote access for your mobile workers—it’s part of that visible security profile that builds trust.Next, it’s Encryption—protecting data in transit or at rest.And finally, it’s about digital signatures—validating the integrity of the transaction by verifying that the user is who they say they are and validates document integrity—these digital credentials are very hard to spoof, break, or forge.PKI is all about trust. In fact, PKI is a hierarchical trust model. And PKI solutions can be trusted only as much as the implementation of PKI itself can be trusted. And that is where it is critical to understand that a successful, trustworthy PKI is far more than a piece of software that generate certificates.NEXT SLIDE
