PASSWORD SECURITY, AN ANALYSIS OF AUTHENTICATION METHODS

An era in which transactions and communication are quick and easy owing to fast-growing IT technology has commenced nowadays. Because of the extensive use of IT and its wide distribution, it is easy to access private information. Implementing more stringent computer security processes is vital to shielding this data from unlawful penetration, a never-ending battle. Data and service integrity, availability, and confidentiality are the three pillars upon which computer security stands. Password authentication is the key defense mechanism used among the systems battling security loopholes. This research selected a systematic literature review (SLR) to collect up-to-date data on different password security authentication mechanisms. A detailed review of the previous work isdone to gather all existing authentication techniques from the current literature and compare and select them for use in different settings. The result revealed the usages, benefits, and drawbacks of discovered password security and authentication methods. In the end, a framework is proposed to enhance the security of password systems.
