Read the article by TradeHarbor's President & CEO in the May/June Issue of Cable & Satellite International entitled: "Many of the identity and authentication schemes that are employed today to add security to applications and services are actually exposing our private information. |
The basic idea that a secret is something that is exposed to as few people as possible is violated every day. The idea that “shared secrets” is a viable method to strongly authenticate someone’s identity seems to be considered as the best practice method for multi-factor authentication. When in reality a “shared secret” is an oxymoron – once you share something it is no longer a secret, and if it is a fact from a publicly available database it was not a secret to begin with. If I call my wireless provider and the CSR asks my mother’s maiden name, I have exposed that “secret”, when I use my phone banking application and they ask my mother’s maiden name, I begin to realize that there are a lot of people who could successfully answer that question and supposedly be “authenticated”. Anyone in my family (which is very large – more than 50 people) and a lot of people who simply know my family, would succeed in that challenge. My mother grew up in a small town but that is at least another 200-300 people. This illustrates the problem with any knowledge factor – If I can’t remember it, I will fail – if someone else knows it, they will succeed. " |
