Abstract:
There has always been a growing need for online access solutions that use strong authentication methods without encumbering the user. Current solutions that are easy to use and deploy offer weak security, while those that offer strong security are hard to use and deploy. The solution architecture presented in this paper allows users to continue using their existing authentication method, which in itself may be weak, but can be made stronger by augmenting it with standard Bluetooth devices that are part of the user’s everyday work environment. These Bluetooth devices seamlessly offer additional factors of authentication without any explicit user intervention. This approach creates opportunities for adaptive, continuous and risk-based authentication where proximity of known Bluetooth devices is an input to risk management policies.
