Study Notes
Mobile Authentication Apps
- Implement a one-time password generator using the "Time-based one-time password (TOTP)" algorithm
- Does not require a network connection for operation
- Can be used with multiple accounts simultaneously
- More secure than authentication code due to dynamic password generation
- Disadvantages:
- Susceptible to phone loss or theft
- Vulnerable to malware installation by attackers
- Risk of users revealing secret codes to attackers
Biometric Authentication
- Authenticates individuals based on unique physical characteristics
- Based on pattern recognition technology
- Technically complex and expensive compared to passwords and tokens
- Physical characteristics used for biometric authentication:
- Facial characteristics
- Fingerprints
- Hand geometry
- Retinal pattern
- Iris
- Signature
- Voice
