Multifactor Authentication

Abstract

With the advent of Internet of Things, large number of devices became connected to the cloud via various services. From an Information Security perspective, this aspect adds additional tasks to the defense in depth layers. This article tackles the authentication level and its options. This topic has been chosen, as user/password authentication is obsolete and no longer secure. Despite the increased complexity of the passwords, the use of rainbow tables and the large processing power available, the systems are vulnerable to brute force attacks.
