Final Year University Project
Secure distribution of credentials across multiple storage locations
Project Aims:
- Obfuscate security data through distribution
- Increase factors of authentication without increasing complexity
- Have flexibility to integrate into a number of use cases
Performance Testing
Project was adapted for use with SSH as a login protocol
Other popular MFA methods were tested for comparison
Three users were timed from start to disconnection
Proposed System 36.306 seconds
Google Authenticator 15.099 seconds
SMS Authentication 65.8 seconds
Email Authentication 29.236 seconds
Security Factors
Project has four factors of authentication
> Two factors are what the user knows: Password, Last Group Signout
> Two factors are what the user has: USB drive, Certificates
Proposed System
SMS
