Though, machine authentication (machinemachine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eauthentication) is to protect the machine through several secure protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elike Secure Socket Layer (SSL) but it cannot stop all the illegal accesses. In order, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003euser authentications come to rescue, and consequently we witness stringent policies to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eavoid identity theft. Every framework has different authentication arrangements to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einclude different authentication techniques. The ultimate objective of authentication is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto increase the security level of authorized users and to eliminate the unauthorized\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaccesses, whatsoever authentication technique is employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classification of authentication techniques is based on three zones: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnowledge Based Authentication (KBA), Object Based Authentication (OBA), and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharacteristics Based Authentication (CBA). KBA includes user-id and password, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epassphrase, challenge questions, zero knowledge-based protocols, challenge response\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprotocols etc. OBA is described by the physical belonging or utilization of any\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehardware device used to verify the user for example smart cards, identity cards etc. It\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis employed generally in banking, transport, parking and hotels (Levy \u0026amp; Ramim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2009). The trouble of misplacing the device and allowing unauthorized access can be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexplained by embedding other factors into it. CBA or Biometrics is characterized by\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunique property a user possesses, including fingerprint, audio or voice recognition, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esignature recognition and face recognition. Kaur and Mustafa (2016) also discussed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003evarious authentication mechanism and authentication methods. Their respective\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estrengths and weaknesses are briefly listed in Table 1a.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite security problems, password authentication has been having increasing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfluence on the internet for the last five decades. Several researchers have worked for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estrengthening password based authentication, primarily to enhance effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, a comprehensive literature review revealed a little attempt on improving the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eefficiency aspect of password based authentication- including changing the time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputations, increasing the security considerations etc. More work needs to be done\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor determining the distinction with, which users act to specific authentication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etechniques in reference with authentication practices, that may enable attacks on the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esystem.
