MOUMTADI, Fatima  and  GARCIA-VAZQUEZ, Luis Alfonso. Multifactor authentication using a kinect sensor. Iteckne [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.1, pp.23-35. ISSN 1692-1798.

In this paper a multifactor authentication system by using Kinect sensor and computer equipment was developed. It was used the C# language for coding with the development environment and tools provided by the manufacturer for Windows operating system, to choose a combination of authentication methods to reduce the ability of a non-authorized user to be eligible to access a certain place or system. Five methods were chosen to obtain the multifactor authentication, covering the three categories of authentication methods: Information keys, physical keys and biometric keys, based respectively in something the person knows, something the person has and something the person is. A reliable, robust and easy to use authentication system was achieved, favoring the reliability and reducing the complexity of each of the individual methods. It proved to be possible to develop a multifactor authentication system with Kinect sensor.

Keywords : Authentication; Kinect; multifactor.
