Secret sharing in continuous access control system, using heart sounds

A critical insight into the identity authentication systems on smartphones

“…The system abandons the centralized approach which entrenches social networks for Wi-Fi authentication instead the system has introduced a decentralized approach EAP-Soc-TLS, for authorization and authentication of Wi-Fi access points and numerous additional devices, thus providing a much better solution in terms of scalability than the conventional centralized approaches which face single point failure problems and raise privacy concerns. A practical and secure authentication mechanism founded on smart cards has been proposed in [21]. The proposed system delivers protection against various susceptibilities while at the same time improving existing security schemes.…”

“…The challenges identified range from security vulnerability to computational complexity to user adoptability. Conclusively, the progressive review conducted will end with the following open issues: a) Reduced user adoptability persists due to extra hardware requirements existing in the form of smart cards, specially featured hardware [13], [21], [40], [38], [43]. b) Prominent processing power and execution time subsist [21], [22], resulting in subsequent incompatibility to operate on generic mobile devices.…”

“…Various schemes replacing complex passwords with hardware tokens, chip modules and smart cards have been introduced [16]- [18] which provide higher degree of security but lack user ergonomics, prove inconsistent, can be lost, duplicated, stolen, expensive and unmanageable, therefore hampering their adoptability [19], [20]. Also, there exist security schemes like [21], [22] which failed to operate on limited resource devices such as smart mobile phones that are exceedingly used for sensitive information exchange thereby making them extremely vulnerable [1], [23]. Furthermore, a variety of facilities exist like cloud technology, which aim at offering many services to its customers.…”
