Multi-Factor Authentication System With ID Card Credentials For Secure Transactions

A physical document that can be utilized to validate a person's identity is known as ID card, usually comes in standard size same as that of credit cards (3.370 inch height and 2.125 inch width).The machine readable identification information within ID card is the primary means of controlling individual access to everything starting from employee areas to special lounges. Transparency level of identification information within the document (ID card) varies from organization to organization. Some uses visible credentials like Barcodes and QR codes while others use RFIDs. Impersonation and the MFA- SYSTEM represents two distinct phases of the project. Former gives a clear-cut idea on how an impersonation attack is carried out by using methods in image processing, computer vision for extracting the visible features and decoding the information from the images or videos recorded using smartphones or surveillance cameras. SURF and SIFT are initially extracted, FLANN for feature mapping and Homography estimation using RANSAC algorithms. Latter one is making a multifactor authentication system that can improve the security of the ID card credentials. The proposed system in phase 1 can is able to successfully locate the position of barcodes and QR codes within the image and successfully decode information within the QR code, phase two helps to solve some of the challenges in authentication like shoulder surfing, securing data in MongoDB, accuracy during storing and retrieval from database etc
