Abstract:
Authentication is a way to verify identification of users. Authentication plays a crucial parin safeguarding the data. Currently, nearly any form of data is saved on the Internet, which
makes security concerns of the private data extremely vital. Initially, single factor
authentication was employed to safeguard data and identify identity. Because of the risingsecurity vulnerabilities in single factor authentication, two/multi factor authentication wascreated. The multi-factor authentication has an unfavorable influence on user experienceThe additional authentication layer impacts the user friendliness/user experience of a given
application, and the user must spend more time in the extra authentication step to confirm theidentity. Adaptive authentication was built to overcome this problem. daptive Authentication
determines the optimal authentication method for a user dependent on context parameterssuch as behavioral traits, location, network, and certain other user features. This technology
has the capacity of modifying the standard authentication (i.e. username/password) techniqueand directing it in a more secure and user-friendly direction. Existing work will be analyzed
in this research, and a better adaptive authentication mechanism will be created and
deployed. Adaptable Auth is a novel adaptive authentication design. This research offers arevolutionary adaptive authentication technique which seeks to erase the bad user experienceof the existing multi factor authentication systems. Adaptive authentication accumulatesinformation about each user and prevents fraudulent attempts by checking them against thegenerated profiles. This technique will boost the usability, user-friendliness by adding
multi-factor authentication only when its essential utilizing a risk based adaptive approach.Furthermore, the solution maintains security by authenticating the genuine user via jointly
assessing the attributes, behavior, device and network relevant information. Separatemachine learning models will be deployed to identify the user based on user behavior and
circumstance. This research presents a novel technique to enhancing the overall performanceof the authentication process. The authentication mechanisms will be selected depending on
the user's risk profile. This enhances the authentication process's user experience.
