  1. Secondary Authentication and Phishing Alyssa Ritchie

  2. Outline • Secondary Authentication • Phishing • Secondary vs. Primary Authentication • New authentication systems

  3. Secondary Authentication Studies have already shown that secret questions are a weak authentication tool. Many of the answers can be found in the public domain, Facebook or just guessing. We suspect that people will select only a small portion of the total available questions. xkcd

  4. Secondary Authentication Because people come from different backgrounds, a lot of questions will not be applicable to many people. Using a survey, I hope to determine whether my hypothesis is correct.

  5. Phishing Hackers will use phishing attacks such as website forgery where they spoof a website and trick the user into volunteering personal information to a source they thought trustworthy.

  6. Phishing • Alternate authentication methods • Identifying pictures • Using different symbols

  7. Secondary vs. Primary Authentication • Time • Mistakes • Memorization • Frequency of Use

  8. Goals • Show ineffectiveness and the security concern of current secondary authentication methods • Propose an alternate secondary authentication • Create an addition to the current password system to stop phishing
