Abstract:
User authentication, a difficult problem, suffers from various shortcomings with the prevalent use of passwords as an authentication method. Requirements for password memorability and usability make them easy to break. Password reuse across sites, including insecure sites, phishing and spoofing attacks, requires that financial institutions examine security by analyzing end-to-end processes and identities involved. This paper presents an approach for intrusion tolerance, and the necessitated changes to processes and policies.
