This session will provide an overview of how DFS account takeover can be prevented using strong authentication methods and showcase their implementation in real live systems. A secure DFS system requires reliable form of customer identification in order to generate secure credential for authenticating clints. Many current online DFS systems still rely on the use of insecure password solutions for client authentication. In order to enhance security, some solutions use multifactor authentication (MFA) to protect against account takeover. However, MFA induces friction to the authentication process without expanded additional security benefits if not implemented properly. Recent advances in technology have resulted in secure systems that are based on the FIDO Alliance protocols that enable secure password-less authentication solution that are user and device friendly. Furthermore, coalitions such as DID Alliance are finalizing core specification that bootstrap trusted consumer identity online.
