A Comparative Analysis of Various Multifactor Authentication Mechanisms

Authors(2) :-B. Kharthik Kumar Reddy , Dr. B. Indira Reddy

Due to advancements and improvements in internet and communication systems, more people are relying on internet to store their confidential information. Earlier the idea of static passwords was being used but most of the passwords are weak and easily guessable. According to a survey ninety percentage of passwords that are used by people are poor very poor or keywords of their personal information, which makes easy for attackers and intruders to guess passwords in different combinations using brute-force attack. Thus the idea of multi-factor authentication introduced in the world instead of this remote client authentication mechanism. It hardens the security of network and make difficult for the attackers to crack the system. In these mechanisms, user needs to provide extra information along with username and passwords. Most popular is one-time passwords that are generated randomly and valid only short period (30 to 60 seconds). In this paper, review of various multi-factor authentication schemes has been performed to compare various authentication mechanisms.
