Abstract

Non-textual authentication procedures have been proposed throughout the previous two decades, as text-based authentication has been criticized. Non-textual authentication is potentially faster and more reliable, and it also presents a new paradigm for authentication decision making. In this paper, the SensiPass® secure three-factor dynamic digital system had been extended using a new API for Microsoft Azure Active Directory. Integration of an IDaaS like SensiPass® with a market leader like Microsoft Azure Directory can open a gateway of opportunities for clients to secure their environment. Microsoft Azure’s Conditional Access Policy works after the first factor of authentication is completed. The intention with conditional access policy is not to be the first line of defence for attacks like Denial-of-Service attacks. In the later part of the paper, a comprehensive analysis of various types of attacks, protocols, features, and different cloud identity management and their providers was done. Also, a network diagram was proposed for the new architecture.
