The multifactor authentication system is a state- of-the-art solution created to improve security protocols across numerous sectors and shield confidential data from unauthorized access. Several layers of authentication are provided by this system, which makes use of cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that only people with the proper authorization can access particular resources or systems. It integrates biometric authentication, including fingerprint, facial, or iris scanning, which ups security because these biological characteristics are personal to each person. This system also uses multi-factor authentication, which combines two or more authentication factors, such as something the user is (a smart card), something they have (a password), or something they know (a password) (biometrics). This combination lessens the possibility of a single point of failure, hence enhancing security. Real-time monitoring, risk-based authentication, and behavioral biometrics are further aspects of the advanced authentication system that help to identify and stop fraudulent actions. Organizations can dramatically reduce security risks, safeguard sensitive data, and adhere to strict regulatory requirements by deploying this solution. The advancedauthentication system, in its whole, is a potent tool in the modern digital environment, protecting important assets with its strong and complex security measures. Keywords: advanced authentication system, security, biometric authentication, multi-factor authentication, real-time monitoring, risk- based authentication,

“…Their proposed system, SwiPIN, allows for fast authentications (3.7 s) and exhibits low error-rates (3%) and high shoulder surfing resistance. Mathis et al [17] investigated the combination of AR glasses and keypad scrambling for secure and usable authentication on public displays. They found that scrambling the keypad layout significantly increases authentication times (5.29 s vs. 3.70 s for traditional 4-digit PIN input), but that there is no evidence of a significant impact on the number of PIN corrections and PIN entry errors [17].…”

“…All in all, there is a large body of research on usable and secure authentication methods. While individual works commented on the impact of scrambling PIN/image layouts on usability and security (e.g., [4,10,17]), there is no formal evaluation of the impact of layout scrambling on the usability and security of traditional PINs when considering multiple different attacks (e.g., shoulder surfing attacks and thermal attacks). Section 2.2 will review and discuss different threats and threat modeling in more detail.…”

Randomizing the layout of the keypad has been proposed to improve the security of PIN entry. However, there has been no empirical quantification of its impact on usability and security. We present the first usability (N=17) and security (N=24) evaluations to compare PIN entry with the standard vs randomized layout. Our results show that randomizing the layout increases resistance to shoulder surfing and thermal attacks significantly, and has a very minor impact on entry accuracy, but it increases entry time (from ≈1.4 seconds to ≈2 seconds). We discuss how this simple approach can improve security with little impact on usability. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Interaction techniques; • Security and privacy → Authentication.

Virtual reality (VR) is a multibillionaire market that keeps growing, year after year. As VR is becoming prevalent in households and small businesses, it is critical to address the effects that this technology might have on the privacy and security of its users. In this paper, we explore the state-of-the-art in VR privacy and security, we categorise potential issues and threats, and we analyse causes and effects of the identified threats. Besides, we focus on the research previously conducted in the field of authentication in VR, as it stands as the most investigated area in the topic. We also provide an overview of other interesting uses of VR in the field of cybersecurity, such as the use of VR to teach cybersecurity or evaluate the usability of security solutions.
