A secure user authentication process is a key prerequisite for ensuring the security of the entire electronic system. On the other hand, current systems usually deploy many constrained devices with limited computational power, memory space and cryptographic support. This makes it hard to deploy secure cryptographic mechanisms in this environment. In this article, we present our multifactor authentication system using a reader with a secure module represented with MultOS smart card and an Android smart phone acting as a user authentication device. The system supports NFC (Near Field Communication) communication interface for intermediating communication between smart phone and reader, supports additional authentication factors (e.g. PIN code or fingerprint) and is easily implementable even on very constrained devices such as smart cards.
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.
