Which Strong Authentication technology ?

Legacy Token / Old Model ? / Open Source Solution ?


OTP PKI (HW) Biometry
Strong *
authentication
Encryption

Digital signature

Non repudiation

Strong link with
the user

* Biometry type Fingerprinting

with PKI


PKI: Digital Certificate

Hardware Token (Crypto PKI)
Software Certificate
(PKCS#12;PFX)

TPM

SSL/TLS Mutual Athentication : how does it work?

Validation
Authority

OCSP request

Invalid
Unknown

SSL / TLS Mutual Authentication

Crypto-101 / Time Based OTP

HASH Function

T=UTC Time

ie = OTP(K,T) = Truncate(HMAC-SHA-1(K,T))

Crypto-101 / Event Based OTP

HASH Function

K=Secret Key / Seed

OTP
C = Counter

ie = OTP(K,C) = Truncate(HMAC-SHA-1(K,C))

Crypto-101 / OTP Challenge Response Based

(A)uthentication

RBA (Risk-Based Authentication) = Behavior Model


2 Step Verification from Google !

Use OATH-HOTP & TOTP

http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/


Integration with
web application

Web application: basic authentication model


Web application: Strong Authentication model


“Shielding" approach: perimetric authentication using WAF


Module/Agent-based approach (example)


API/SDK based approach (example)


Demo 3#: PHP Integration for phpmyadmin


Multi OTP PHP Class by André Liechti (Switzerland)

Source Code will be publish soon:
http://www.citadelle-electronique.net/
http://www.multiotp.net/

Proof of Concept Code by
Anne Gosselin, Antonio Fontes !

if (! empty($_REQUEST['pma_username'])) {
// The user just logged in
$GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = $_REQUEST['pma_username'];

// we combine both OTP + PIN code for the token verification
$fooPass = empty($_REQUEST['pma_password']) ? '' : $_REQUEST['pma_password'];
$fooOtp = empty($_REQUEST['pma_otp']) ? '' : $_REQUEST['pma_otp'];
$GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = $fooPass.''.$fooOtp;

// OTP CHECK
require_once('./libraries/multiotp.class.php');
$multiotp = new Multiotp();
$multiotp->SetUser($GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
$multiotp->SetEncryptionKey('DefaultCliEncryptionKey');
$multiotp->SetUsersFolder('./libraries/users/');
$multiotp->SetLogFolder('./libraries/log/');
$multiotp->EnableVerboseLog();

$otpCheckResult = $multiotp->CheckToken($GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
// the PIN code use kept for accessing the database
$GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = substr($GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW'], 0, strlen($GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW']

if($otpCheckResult == 0)
return true;
else
die("auth failed.");

Think about Software Security !

OpenID - What is it?

> Internet SingleSignOn > Free Choice of Identity Provider
> Relatively Simple Protocol > No License Fee
> User-Centric Identity Management > Independent of Identification Methods
> Internet Scalable > Non-Profit Organization

SAML

Using SAML for Authentication and Strong Authentication

(Assertion
Consumer Service)


SAML – What is it?

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language):
> Defined by the Oasis Group
> Well and Academically Designed Specification
> Uses XML Syntax
> Used for Authentication & Authorization

> SAML Assertions
> Statements: Authentication, Attribute, Authorization

> SAML Protocols
> Queries: Authentication, Artifact, Name Identifier Mapping, etc.

> SAML Bindings
> SOAP, Reverse-SOAP, HTTP-Get, HTTP-Post, HTTP-Artifact

> SAML Profiles
> Web Browser SingleSignOn Profile, Identity Provider Discovery Profile, Assertion Query
/ Request Profile, Attribute Profile

Une conviction forte !

Authentification forte

A major event in the world of strong authentication

 12 October 2005: the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC) issues a directive

 « Single Factor Authentication » is not enough for the web financial
applications
 Before end 2006 it is compulsory to implement a strong
authentication system
 http://www.ffiec.gov/press/pr101205.htm

 And the PCI DSS norm
 Compulsory strong authentication for distant accesses

 And now European regulations
 Payment Services (2007/64/CE) for banks

 Social Networks, Open Source

Out of Band Authentication
