Second-factor authentication

Second-factor authentication

Three or four years ago Howard Schmidt commented that we should have moved away from username and password as an authentication mechanism years before. I recall nodding in agreement with his statement. So I was hardly surprised when the The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) issued its guidance calling for the use of second-factor authentication in online banking. In the view of many vendors, this guidance — after an earlier FDIC advisory on internet banking security — “represents a definitive step toward eliminating single-factor authentication by financial institutions.” There are alternative views.

Moving towards two-factor authentication

Moving towards two-factor authentication

Protecting data in the digital age is essential. Recent years have seen a decline in “recreational hacking” and a new wave of commercial hacking as illustrated in the example of the keystroke logger placed at the Sumitomo bank in an effort to steal £220m earlier this year and the various efforts at Denial of Service (DoS) blackmail.
