个人、企业和政府通过各种支持互联网的数字设备在线开展越来越多的活动。不幸的是，这些活动、服务、信息和设备都是网络犯罪的目标。验证用户使用/访问数字设备或服务的合法性已变得至关重要。身份验证是确保只有授权用户才能访问的前线对策；然而，它在历史上一直遭受与方法的安全性和可用性相关的一系列问题。它们仍然主要在入口点起作用，并且那些执行某种重新身份验证的人以侵入方式执行它。由此可见，更加创新、便捷、安全的用户认证解决方案至关重要。本文回顾了身份验证方法以及身份验证技术的当前使用，旨在开发当前最先进的技术并确定需要解决的开放问题和需要采用的可用解决方案。它还调查这些身份验证技术是否有能力填补高安全性和用户满意度之间的差距。接下来是对连续和透明的多模式认证的现有研究的文献综述。结论是，为用户提供足够的保护和便利需要在全球范围内使用创新的、稳健的身份验证机制。最终，提出了一种潜在的联合生物特征认证解决方案；然而，它需要进行开发和广泛评估，从而以透明、持续和用户友好的方式运作。
Individuals, businesses and governments undertake an ever-growing range of activities online and via various Internet-enabled digital devices. Unfortunately, these activities, services, information and devices are the targets of cybercrimes. Verifying the user legitimacy to use/access a digital device or service has become of the utmost importance. Authentication is the frontline countermeasure of ensuring only the authorized user is granted access; however, it has historically suffered from a range of issues related to the security and usability of the approaches. They are also still mostly functioning at the point of entry and those performing sort of re-authentication executing it in an intrusive manner. Thus, it is apparent that a more innovative, convenient and secure user authentication solution is vital. This paper reviews the authentication methods along with the current use of authentication technologies, aiming at developing a current state-of-the-art and identifying the open problems to be tackled and available solutions to be adopted. It also investigates whether these authentication technologies have the capability to fill the gap between high security and user satisfaction. This is followed by a literature review of the existing research on continuous and transparent multimodal authentication. It concludes that providing users with adequate protection and convenience requires innovative robust authentication mechanisms to be utilized in a universal level. Ultimately, a potential federated biometric authentication solution is presented; however it needs to be developed and extensively evaluated, thus operating in a transparent, continuous and user-friendly manner.
