“…The roles played by the various authentication systems on the internet are considered as how the users are being digitally divided and excluded. The primary factors that are considered and highlighted are psychological as well as material and skill-oriented barriers (Gibson et al, 2010). And it is observed that a number of disagreements of accessibility and security goals are exhibited in image-and sound-based authentication systems.…”

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a new buzzword in the Information Security world. Big companies that used passwords as an authentication mechanism now have started transitioning to 2FA. One form of two factor authentication is known as One-Time Password (OTP). In today’s time, there is a lack of a secure multi-factor authentication platform which is also user friendly. In all the major 2FA platforms that exist today, the user has to manually enter the OTP from their phone or email. This problem is further amplified by delays in transmission of OTP via email or SMS. There has also been an increase in the number of botnets that scan large networks and try to an open and vulnerable ports on cloud hosting networks. An easy-to-use port security solution is not available. This research work aims to create a secure, proof-of-concept implementation of a modern and opinionated two factor authentication system based on Near Sound Data Transfer (NSDT) technology enabling contactless secure transmission of Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP).

“…Although awareness is growing, surrounding the need to design for diverse users, interface designers often find themselves in a situation where they are forced to choose security goals over their conflicting access-oriented goals [15]. Individuals who are blind favor performing tasks independently, rather than relying on sighted users to aid them with computing interactions.…”

Authentication mechanisms are often developed without taking into account the needs of users with visual disabilities. In this paper, we describe an extension to an existing tactile authentication system, with the aim of supporting non-visual interaction. Tactile icons are presented in a timed sequence at one fixed point on the interface, reducing the need to navigate using a mouse. Findings from an evaluation with 16 blind and blindfolded participants revealed that tactile authentication sequences (termed: tactile passwords) could be recognized over a month-long period, with a 76.8% rate of accuracy on the first attempt to access the system. While the approach was found to address security concerns identified through literature (e.g. threats from third parties and hidden cameras), findings have indicated that usability was compromised to achieve accessibility. The study has provided insights for interface designers interested in developing inclusive authentication mechanisms using touch.
