An EAP Method with Biometrics Privacy Preserving in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANsChen, Yung-Chih 15 August 2009 (has links)
It is necessary to authenticate users when they want to access services in WLANs. Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework widely used in WLANs. Authentication
mechanisms built on EAP are called EAP methods. The requirements for EAP
methods in WLAN authentication have been defined in RFC 4017. Besides, low computation
cost and forward secrecy, excluded in RFC 4017, are noticeable requirements in WLAN authentication.
However, all EAP methods and authentication schemes designed for WLANs so
far do not satisfy all of the above requirements. Therefore, we will propose an EAP method
which utilizes three factors, stored secrets, passwords, and biometrics, to verify users. Our
proposed method fully satisfies 1) the requirements of RFC 4017, 2) forward secrecy, and
3) lightweight computation. Moreover, the privacy of biometrics is protected against the authentication
server, and the server can flexibly decide whether passwords and biometrics are
verified in each round or not.

Three Factor Authentication Using Java Ring and BiometricsChitiprolu, Jyothi 17 December 2004 (has links)
Computer security is a growing field in the IT industry. One of the important aspects of the computer security is authentication. Using passwords (something you know) is one of the most common ways of authentications. But passwords have proven to provide weak level of security as they can be easily compromised. Some other ways of authenticating a user are using physical tokens, (something you possess) and biometrics, (something you are). Using any one of these techniques to secure a system always has its own set of threats. One way to make sure a system is secure is to use multiple factors to authenticate. One of the ways to use multiple factors is to use all the three factors of authentication, something you possess, something you are and something you know. This thesis discusses about different ways of authentication and implements a system using three factor authentication. It takes many security aspects of the system into consideration while implementing it, to make it secure.
