Abstract

Nowadays, we look for the ideal way to authenticate users but we have found that the access systems to information along with the technologies that are commonly available do not ensure the identity of users. In general, protected resources which can only be accessed by specific individuals, can use the assignment of roles or be managed by an administrator who controls access to the system. In addition, many webs have auditing tools by default. Auditing is a strong tool that lets us control the users’ activities. We can also trace actions that are not permitted. The inconvenience of this is the weak wall of privacy that users have. Given these general tools, the issue to be considered is how to ensure the identity of the users. The challenge of this project was to combine the traditional ways of authentication with something uniquely personal to the user within the online educational communities at university.
