Implementation and Evaluation of a Secure and Efficient Web Authentication Scheme using Mozilla Firefox and WAMP
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
User authentication and session management are two of the most critical aspects of computer security and privacy on the web. However, despite their importance, in practice, authentication and session management are implemented through the use of vulnerable techniques. To solve this complex problem, we proposed new authentication architecture, called StrongAuth. Later, we presented an improved version of StrongAuth that includes a secure session management mechanism based on public key cryptography and other cryptographic primitives. In this paper, we present an experimental implementation and evaluation of the proposed scheme to demonstrate its feasibility in real-world scenarios. Specifically, we realize a prototype consisting of two modules: (1) a registration module that implements the registration, and (2) an authentication module integrating both the mutual authentication and the session management phases of the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that in comparison to traditional authentication and session management mechanisms, the proposed prototype presents the lowest total runtime.
