Multi-Factor Authentication System for Enhanced Identity Security

The objective of this project is to design a multi-factor authentication system that enhances identity security by combining multiple verification methods. The system reduces the risk of unauthorized access by requiring more than one authentication factor.

Study authentication factors such as knowledge, possession, and inherence.

Analyze security weaknesses of single-factor authentication systems.

Design authentication workflows combining password and secondary factors.

Implement OTP-based or app-based verification mechanisms.

Integrate secure session management techniques.

Develop fallback and recovery mechanisms for authentication failure.

Log authentication attempts and suspicious activities.

Test system resilience against brute-force and replay attacks.

Evaluate usability versus security impact.

Measure authentication success and response times.

Document system effectiveness and future enhancements.
