Four-factor verification methodology for entity authentication assurance

In this age of the accelerated globalization and the increased mobile population, various methods of wire/wireless communication technologies and their service are converged and integrated each other as Internet Technology has been developing. As a result, functions of the devices such as a computer, a digital device, a mobile device and a smart phone have been evolving. At present, there are different types of ID card that replace the personal identification based on contact/contactless IC card. Currently, various security protocols for users´ authentication are being widely and mixedly used. However, current technology is unable to guarantee the entities (human and devices) authentication assurance due to an abuse caused by loss, theft and fabrication. Therefore, a new authentication policy is needed in order to assure the authentication for both users and devices. In this paper, I propose a new framework that guarantees the authentication assurance of wire/wireless entities such as humans and devices by using proposed four-factor authentication methodologies which can provide enhanced security, efficient policy of entity authentication assurance and efficient operation.
