    A framework is proposed for three-factor authentication (password, smart card, and biometrics) to improve security in distributed systems. The framework upgrades existing two-factor authentication in a generic and secure way at low cost, while also protecting client privacy by not exposing biometric data to external devices. It analyzes and mitigates six types of security attacks, and retains user-friendly properties of two-factor authentication.

    Abstract:
    As part of the security within distributed systems, various services and resources need protection from unauthorized use. Remote authentication is the most commonly used method to determine the identity of a remote client. We propose a systematic approach for authenticating clients by three factors, namely password, smart card and biometrics. A generic and secure framework is proposed to upgrade two-factor authentication to three-factor authentication. The conversion not only significantly improves the information assurance at low cost but also protects client privacy in distributed systems. In our framework the users biometrics are not exposed to any external devices, ensuring privacy. We analyse and overcome six types of security attacks that exist in the distributed systems. In addition, our framework retains several practice-friendly properties of the existing two-factor authentication, which we believe is of independent interest.
