Increasing the security of web applications by using smartphones

Abstract

The web applications security systems often use the authentication strategy and credentials to assess the identity of the user. Based on the credentials, the system is able to claim the identity of the user. Also, the authenticity of identity is claimed based on authentication strategy. This paper analyzes and compares different strategies used to enforce the web applications security systems by using location and biometric features of the smartphones to provide two-way authentications.
