Information and Software Support for the Multifactor Authentication Process using Biometric Data in Linux Kernel-Based Operating Systems

The article substantiates the necessity of of implementing multifactor authentication based on user biometric data to enhance the security level of computer systems. Traditional methods such as password authentication are not always capable of providing the required level of protection for the account and user data. The authors analyze modern approaches to biometric authentication, identify the advantages of using them within multifactor systems, and address current issues related to the secure storage of biometric data. As a result of their research, they have developed a software architecture that uses the proposed mechanisms for integration in Linux kernel-based operating systems.
