How two-factor authentication works with blockchain

In this article, we discuss how two-factor authentication has been evolved to address the shortcoming of single authentication systems. We also discuss how we can utilize a blockchain technology to transform 2FA by migrating the centralized network into a decentralized blockchain network. As more Internet-of-Things devices require authentication credentials and users increase their repository of usernames and passwords for accessing web services, the emergence of 2FA solutions based on blockchain technology is inevitable.

Every organization has hundreds of applications and databases, and its employees access them every day using their credentials (that is, their username and password). An attacker with such valid credentials can bypass existing security solutions, as they look like a legitimate user. As per the Verizon Data Breach report in 2016, more than 63% of successful breaches involved compromised credentials. Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides an added layer to the existing credential-based system protection as a solution to this drastically growing problem. As such, in this article, we will cover the following two topics: What is 2FA and Blockchain for 2FA.

The daily headlines on data breaches and the mainstream attention in the form of documentaries like Netflix’s “The Great Hack” and “The Social Dilemma” have made clear to the public: it’s time we all do a data detox.

How educators can secure their online learning environments

Ning Wang

Cybercriminals can take advantage of human weaknesses in one place and use them in other places where they can get financial or other gains. Email addresses, real names, real addresses, phone numbers, date of birth, etc., all are valuable information for cybercriminals. They can build their database with this personal information and use them in future attacks. This is why practicing good cybersecurity habits as users and as administrators is critical for all of us for all systems we use.

Using IoT security devices to get more value at your enterprise

If IoT devices are being cyber-certified, why aren’t mobile applications?

Brad Ree
January 28, 2021
