Multi-factor authentication: Something you learn

Presenters: Artem Kazantsev, Sr. Security Analyst - IT Security Office  and Rob Carter, Rob Carter, IDM Architect - OIT Identity Management.

Stealing passwords and compromising online accounts is getting easier and easier with the development of custom phishing emails, keyloggers and application of powerful graphic  processor to crack encrypted passwords. The only known way to combat password compromises is the deployment of multi-factor authentication, i.e. using other factors in addition to "something you know" (password, pin), such as "something you have" (a token, a certificate, a mobile phone) and "something you are" (fingerprints, voice pattern). We will discuss what options are available to the Duke Community in extensive multi-factor menu.
