“…When an attacker decrypts this information into a plaintext, the attacker can use that username and password on other websites, thereby impersonating the rightful person. The attacker may gain access to important and confidential information from these websites if they do not have professional data protection standards [22,23].…”

Secure password storing is essential in systems working based on password authentication. In this paper, SXR algorithm (Split, Exclusive OR, and Replace) was proposed to improve secure password storing and could also be applied to current authentication systems. SXR algorithm consisted of four steps. First, the received password from users was hashed through a general hash function. Second, the ratio and the number of iterations from the secret key (username and password) were calculated. Third, the hashed password and ratio were computed, and the hashed password was divided based on the ratio (Split) into two values. Both the values were applied to XOR equation according to the number of iterations, resulting in two new values. Last, the obtained values were concatenated and stored in the database (Replace). On evaluating, complexity analyses and comparisons has shown that SXR algorithm could provide attack resistance with a stronger hashed password against the aforementioned attacks. Consequently, even if the hackers hacked the hashed password, it would be challenging and would consume more time to decrypt the actual one, because the pattern of the stored password is the same as the one that has been hashed through the general hash function.

“…The most important key for the authentication process is the uniqueness of security measures, which in general can be categorized into something a user knows (password), something a user has (smart card), or something a user is (biometrics) [10][11][12][13]. Some examples of knowledgebased method, possession-based method, and biometric-based method can be found in Figure 1.…”

Authentication is a way to enable an individual to be uniquely identified usually based on passwords and personal identification number (PIN). The main problems of such authentication techniques are the unwillingness of the users to remember long and challenging combinations of numbers, letters, and symbols that can be lost, forged, stolen, or forgotten. In this paper, we investigate the current advances in the use of behavioral-based biometrics for user authentication. The application of behavioral-based biometric authentication basically contains three major modules, namely, data capture, feature extraction, and classifier. This application is focusing on extracting the behavioral features related to the user and using these features for authentication measure. The objective is to determine the classifier techniques that mostly are used for data analysis during authentication process. From the comparison, we anticipate to discover the gap for improving the performance of behavioral-based biometric authentication. Additionally, we highlight the set of classifier techniques that are best performing for behavioral-based biometric authentication.

“…Tennenhouse et al 9 identify authentication methods as one of the more active research topics in cybersecurity. Rittenhouse and Chaudhry 2 state that authentication methods that employ user names and passwords are the most common in cybersecurity, but in practice, as passwords with high‐security levels are difficult to remember, those methods are not secure enough.…”

“…There has been an explosion of the literature exploring the sensors, physical processes, and algorithms for performing authentication in cyber environments in recent years. For a thorough review, see Rittenhouse and Chaudhry 2 and Thandeeswaran and Durai 3 . The bulk of research on this topic focuses on finding a combination of sensors, algorithms, and protocols that would result in an authentication procedure that is simultaneously secure, low‐cost, and user‐friendly.…”

In secure networks, the authentication process, which verifies a user's identity, is a sensitive operation. Balancing the authentication process's security and usability while keeping operating costs low is a major challenge. We investigate this process in a secure system that has multiple authentication methods available. The goal is to find a fast and easy‐to‐implement approach to assign incoming requests to authentication methods in a way that balances cost, usability, and security. We model the system as a continuous‐time, infinite‐horizon Markov Decision Process. Then, we propose a new, fast heuristic approach to solve the problem, as the curse of dimensionality limits the effectiveness of exact methods. The proposed heuristic uses closed‐form approximations to define threshold policies that are easily implementable. Numerical experiments show that our approach yields robust, near‐optimal solutions, with high accuracy, for a wide range of problem instances.
