  • Unpleasant Secure & Easy Just Bad Just Easy
    Overview of the FIDO Alliance Overview of the FIDO Alliance: For the overwhelming majority of organizations, user-ID and password authentication has proven to be the path of least resistance in terms of initial deployment. Countless experiences over the last decade have taught organizations that login credentials are not particularly secure. For consumers, it’s not easy either, considering that it’s virtually impossible for each of us to remember the numerous passwords we’re now required to use in our daily lives. According to Microsoft, the average internet user with 25 accounts, performs 8 logins using 6.5 passwords daily. Organizations cannot adequately secure password and PIN authentication and their risk and costs are mounting at $5.5M per data breach, $15M yearly in password resets, and $60 per token replacement. Information Security professionals tend to believe that authentication is a continuum – it could be described as easy to use, if insecure at one end, and hard to use, but secure at the other. You simply pick your level of security and then dial up the corresponding level of pain that you will inflict on your users. The FIDO Alliance believes that authentication can best be represented by a quadrant chart with ease of use on one axis and security on the other. The top right quadrant represents solutions that are simultaneously more secure and easier to use. Authentication is not a Continuum High Unpleasant Secure & Easy Security Just Bad Just Easy Low Low High Usability Today, it’s estimated that there are more than 100 proprietary authentication vendors, a number that historically has increased at a rate of about a dozen a year for the last several years.

  • Attack Tree for Modelling Unauthorized EMV Card Transactions at POS Terminals
    Attack Tree for Modelling Unauthorized EMV Card Transactions at POS Terminals Dilpreet Singh, Ron Ruhl and Hamman Samuel Information System Security and Management Department, Concordia University College of Alberta, 7128 Ada Blvd NW, Edmonton, AB, Canada Keywords: EMV, EMV Transaction Process, Attack, Attack Tree Methodology, Point of Sale Terminal, PCIDSS. Abstract: Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) is a dominant protocol used for smart card payments worldwide, with over 730 million cards in circulation. One goal of the EMV protocol is to secure debit and credit transactions at a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, but still there are vulnerabilities, which can lead to unauthorized disclosure of cardholder data. This research paper will provide the reader with a single document listing the vulnerabilities leading to various possible attacks against EMV payment card transaction process at a POS terminal. Attack tree methodology will be used to document these vulnerabilities. This research will also provide the countermeasures against various possible attacks. 1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 Application Selection For 25 years, EMV has implemented payment cards EMV cards may contain multiple applications which initially used a magnetic stripe only but now (Debit/Credit/ATM) and files supporting the contain a chip microprocessor which processes applications. On inserting the EMV card into the payments at POS devices. This research examines POS terminal, the terminal requests to read the EMV when the card is present at a POS terminal and will file “1PAY.SYS.DDF01” listing the applications use attack tree methodology to describe the security that the chip card contains. After successful of dynamic data authentication and combined data application selection, the card sends the Processing authentication (DDA/CDA) EMV cards.

  • FIDO White Paper SCA Delegation to Merchants Or Wallet
    FIDO Alliance White Paper: FIDO for SCA Delegation to Merchants or Wallet Providers March 2021 Editors: Jonathan Grossar, Mastercard Alain Martin, Thales Melanie Maier, Entersekt Bernard Joly, OneSpan Felix Magedanz, Hanko Arshad Noor, StrongKey © 2021 FIDO Alliance. All rights reserved. FIDO for SCA Delegation to Merchants or Wallet Providers Abstract The authentication of consumers during remote transactions has undeniable benefits in terms of security and approval rates but raises concerns of transactions being abandoned by consumers, as those consumers are not always able to authenticate properly to their banks. Merchants and wallet providers have an existing relationship with consumers, and there is an opportunity to leverage authentication mechanisms established during that relationship to authenticate to remote transactions as a delegation of the bank’s authentication. This white paper reviews the different authentication mechanisms that can be used by merchants or wallet providers in the context of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) Delegation and explains why FIDO is best positioned to meet the requirements from regulatory authorities, banks, merchants, or wallet providers. FIDO is an industry standard designed to authenticate consumers with a high level of security and privacy but with minimal friction, and the implementation of FIDO standards is scalable across multiple consumer devices and platforms, making FIDO the recommended solution for SCA Delegation. Audience This paper is intended for: • Merchants, Payment Service Providers, and wallet providers interested in implementing a FIDO solution to authenticate consumers as a delegation of a bank’s authentication. • Banks interested in understanding the benefits of FIDO in SCA Delegation, including how the implementation of FIDO meets their requirements.
