A generic framework of three factor authentication with optional bio-metric or graphical password

Abstract

We live in a technological era where technology controls our lives in a good way or in a bad way. In today’s digital world we cannot imagine a single day without technology and for security for purposes we mostly rely on single-factor authentication or two factor authentication. While using two factor authentication (2FA) our data can still be hacked. 2FA has some weaknesses and for That is the reason our password can be easily cracked or hacked by hackers, even when hackers do not have our OTP. To solve this weakness and make our data more secure and reliable we use three factor authentication so that any unauthorized person cannot easily access our data. We use 5 steps with 3 authentications. First one is username and password after verification, second one is OTP and if both are verified, the last and third one is bio-metric such as fingerprint, voice recognition etc. but not every device supports the bio-metric system for those devices graphical password can be used. Through these three authentications we can protect our data, make it secure and trustworthy for every user.
