“…Authentication remains a fundamental safeguard against illegitimate access to the device or any other sensitive application, whether offline or online [7][8][9] (see Figure 1). Back in time, the transactions were authenticated primarily by physical presence, i.e., for example, by applying the wax seal [10].…”

Today, digitalization decisively penetrates all the sides of the modern society. One of the key enablers to maintain this process secure is authentication. It covers many different areas of a hyper-connected world, including online payments, communications, access right management, etc. This work sheds light on the evolution of authentication systems towards Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) starting from Single-Factor Authentication (SFA) and through Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Particularly, MFA is expected to be utilized for human-to-everything interactions by enabling fast, user-friendly, and reliable authentication when accessing a service. This paper surveys the already available and emerging sensors (factor providers) that allow for authenticating a user with the system directly or by involving the cloud. The corresponding challenges from the user as well as the service provider perspective are also reviewed. The MFA system based on reversed Lagrange polynomial within Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) scheme is further proposed to enable more flexible authentication. This solution covers the cases of authenticating the user even if some of the factors are mismatched or absent. Our framework allows for qualifying the missing factors by authenticating the user without disclosing sensitive biometric data to the verification entity. Finally, a vision of the future trends in MFA is discussed.

“…It can allow office users to use the resources and services of the system in an authorized way and prevent illegal users from accessing the system's resources and services. Authentication is considered an essential component to protect the system, device or application from unlawful access-either in a direct or an indirect way [4][5][6]. To begin with, there was only one factor used to authenticate the users in the system; however, this approach can be easily compromised, particularly in the case of passwords [7,8].…”

In an era of tremendous development in information technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), security plays a key role in safety devices connected with the Internet. Authentication is vital in the security field, and to achieve a strong authentication scheme, there are several systems using a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) scheme based on a smart card, token, and biometric. However, these schemes have suffered from the extra cost; lost, stolen or broken factor, and malicious attacks. In this paper, we design an MFA protocol to be the authenticated administrator of IoT’s devices. The main components of our protocol are a smart mobile device and the fuzzy extractor of the administrator’s fingerprint. The information of the authenticated user is stored in an anomalous manner in mobile devices and servers to resist well-known attacks, and, as a result, the attacker fails to authenticate the system when they obtain a mobile device or password. Our work overcomes the above-mentioned issues and does not require extra cost for a fingerprint device. By using the AVISPA tool to analysis protocol security, the results are good and safe against known attacks.

“…However, this technology introduced a wide range of security threats that has not been addressed in the classical information and network security research [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has exponentially and increasingly become more in-demand with major companies now incorporating RFID into their technology.…”

The advancement of technology that have been produced for Internet of Things (IoT) security has grown significantly and exponentially over the years. This has caused a major impact in the world of IoT security as technological companies have to keep up with the ever-changing security protocols. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has recently gained popularity in the world of IoT, this is due to the RFID chips involvement within credit and debit cards to allow them to become contactless. This survey will produce an in-depth discussion about the background of RFID, the relevance of RFID in today's society, related work, the advantages and disadvantages of RFID and finally a solution to the RFID contactless.
