Abstract
Authentication is the usage of one or multiple mechanisms to show that
who you declare or claim to be. Authentication ensures that users are granted to
some resources or services after verifying their identity. The essential characteristics
of every authentication system are to provide high security for their users.
Multifactor authentication model always improves or enhances the security
compared to single-factor authentication model. This new model makes use of three
factors-biometric Fingerprint Hash code, One Time Password (OTP), and Password.
Fingerprints are not fully secret compare to passwords, because if passwords are
leaked which can be easily revocable using another password and which is not true
in case of fingerprint biometric security system. If an authentication system uses
only fingerprint biometric features, it is not easy to change fingerprint, because
fingerprint is static biometric, which never change much throughout the lifespan. In
this paper, as per ABCD analysis various determinant issues related to Multifactor
Authentication Model for Verification/Authentication purpose are: (1) Security
issues, (2) User-friendly issues, (3) Input issues, (4) Process issues, (5) Performance
Evaluation matrix Issues. The constituent critical elements of Multifactor
Authentication model determinant issues are listed under the four constructs -
advantages, benefits, constraints and disadvantages of the ABCD technique and
tabulated. The analysis has brought out many critical constituent elements, which is
one of the proofs for the success of the new methodology.
