Modern Authentication Methods: A Comprehensive Survey
Maria Papathanasaki, Λέανδρος Μαγλαράς, Nick Ayres
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of modern authentication schemes. We start with the importance of authentication methods and the different authentication processes. Then we present the authentication criteria used and we perform a comparison of authentication methods in terms of universality, uniqueness, collectability, performance, acceptability, and spoofing. Finally, we present multi-factor authentication challenges and security issues and present future directions.
