Dual Authentication Using Mobile Application in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Internet is that the center of all style of social and monetary activities. It’s enabled organizations to supply their services on-line. Customers feel easier to avail on-line services like ebanking services rather than ancient banking services. They will gain these services twenty four hours each day from their homes. It saves their time and cash and conjointly provides them a lot of open marketplace for comparison. However at same time, security is that the biggest challenge in electronic atmosphere. In past few years, electronic banking has suffered from many malicious attacks like phishing scams, man within the middle attacks and malicious computer code attacks. To beat these issues the Mobile phones square measure ordinarily employed by net servers to validate user’s identification and authentication. It enhances user’s trust in on-line transactions and empowers him to use his mobile network as a further layer of security. This mechanism is understood as Mobile group action Authentication system of numeration (mTAN) that is employed by e-banks and social media sites. This technique has some weakness and users square measure still susceptible to serious security risks. Unauthorized people will notice their ways that to urge unauthorized access in ancient mTAN system. During this project, we’ve got explored weaknesses in current mTAN system and planned an answer for reliable and secure use of 2 layer security.
