Research Description:

The concept behind single sign-on is very straight forward— a user carries out a “master” sign- on to authenticate themselves at the beginning of their work period. Then, whenever they need to log into another piece of software, the SSO solution logs in on their behalf. The SSO solution internally stores the various credentials for every piece of software a user needs to access and then validates that user with those systems when they want to access them.

Research Question:

Is single sign on the best way to authenticate to enterprise application?

Hypothesis:

Using a multi factor sign on authentication, can provide stronger form of user authentication, such as integration with a secure identity provider or biometric providers.

Methodology:

Hybrid

Variables:

Multi Factor Authentication

Security risk management,

Single Sign on
