CryptoGraf ProtectID V.1.0
Two-Factor
Authentication
Combination of two different types of
mechanisms to authenticate access to
a service. The mechanisms include:
What You Know is usually a login
ID or a password
What You Have would be some
device like a password generator
What You Are would include a
part of your body like a fingerprint,
voice pattern or retina scan
Entering a login ID and a password
are simply instances of what you
know. Fingerprints are relatively easy
to dust off some glass and reproduce.
Consumer electronics make it quite
easy to record, edit and reproduce
voice pattern or retina scans, so the
cost effectiveness of securely deploying
such authentication mechanisms is
doubtful.
CryptoGraf products and services
enable the combination of what you
know with what you have constantly
kept with you, along with business
continuity operations for usable
