Functionality
The functionality of the TopCoder Software authentication manager will support multi-factor authentication to allow for stacked authentication mechanisms. This component will utilize authentication modules which will be built as separate components.
Many systems use the traditional userid/password based user identity verification, with a growing number security failure incidents such as phishing. Phishing is attempting to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication of identity thefts. In Multi-factor authentication additional authentication mechanisms which require user to provide additional credential information such as a PIN, PKI certificate, etc. to further validate the identity of the user. Examples of multi-factor authentication in real life are one-time passwords and PINs for ATM machines. -
