Introduction
In computer systems and networks, a user is usually able to login by username and password. In this method which is commonly considered as one-factor-at-a-time method (or OFAT), a hacker can access to user’s password with different attacks such as Hooking, Brute force, Dictionary…. Two-factor authentication methods (2FA) have been raised to deal with such threats. In these methods, passwords can be used as well as appropriate hardware devices such as tokens and/or smart cards.
Keyan is a product which is used for 2FA in login process of Windows operating system. This product uses Keya security module as a security Token. Keyan software can be used to turn login process of a computer to 2FA by local and global users (a member of Domain network). Thus, a Keya module is programmed and provided for each user (local or global) based on his security information. The user just needs a PIN (Personal ID Number) to login by Keya. Also, Keyan software is able to turn login process of a remote computer to a 2FA through Remote Desktop software.
