This project aims to develop a secure multi-factor authentication system integrating password, OTP, and cryptographic token-based verification. The objective is to enhance authentication security by combining multiple independent factors and ensuring protection against phishing and replay attacks.
Study multi-factor authentication (MFA) frameworks and threat models.
Design authentication architecture combining password, OTP, and token.
Implement secure password hashing with salting.
Develop time-based OTP generation mechanism.
Integrate cryptographic token validation using HMAC or RSA signatures.
Implement session management and secure communication (TLS simulation).
Perform penetration testing for brute-force and replay attacks.
Evaluate authentication latency and usability trade-offs.
Conduct comparative analysis with single-factor authentication.
Document system security evaluation and risk mitigation strategies.
