Abstract

The traditional and most common authentication method employs usernames and passwords composed of alphanumeric text possibly combined with some symbols. This method has proven to be insecure in practice as passwords that can resist attack are difficult or impossible for users to remember. This paper includes a survey of alternative authentication methods and their possible application areas and describe an authentication system in common use in Korea that combines multiple authentication methods.
