One of the advantages of One Time Password (OTP) is that it's free from brute force, replay, and shoulder attacks. The codes may originate from different entropy attributes and schemes, such as true random and digital random number generators. Businesses, organizations, and academic institutions have adopted OTP methods for credit card transaction confirmation, recalling forgotten passwords, and validating web portal accounts. This paper proposed a new method in authenticating login credentials using a 3 × 3 matrix and random system key as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with an SMS-enabled feature. We used the 6-codes pseudorandom method and a 4-codes validation to allow mobile flexibility and ensure that the user has the required access. The page link and evaluation form are sent to students, IT professionals, and researchers. The results showed respondents are satisfied in terms of functionality, usability, efficiency, and reliability. The developed system could safeguard information, disallow unauthorized access, and impose acceptable data protection measures and minimal system requirements to use the system.
The Fisheries, Coastal Resources and Livelihood (FishCORAL) project of the Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) aimed to address the alarming poverty incidence of the fishing communities and provide protection and conservation of coastal resources. This study developed and implemented a web-based information system designed to serve as repository of resources and socio-economic assessments for Asid Gulf. The study used Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology which utilizes open libraries, application programming interface (APIs) and Geographical Information system (GIS) tools. Information gathered from field surveys and community validation through project components are the primary basis in designing the system components. The developed system provided a wide-range of information in the interest of the fisheries and aquatic resources management. Some of the features include the updated socio-economic profile, aquatic ecology and habitat assessments, baselines of the primary water quality parameters for marine waters, updated fisheries industry profile, and GIS maps of Asid gulf. Government agencies, local government units (LGUs), and partner institutions can use the information in terms of education, livelihood, agriculture and fisheries, health and crafting the coastal resource management plan. The implementation of the system is one of the government efforts to improve the governance capability through the development of internet-based technologies across all stakeholders and agencies for a more efficient operation which shall promote good governance and digital transformation to enhance the organization and intergovernmental coordination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
