Design and impact of multilevel authentication for distributed resources

The major drawback in the existing system using multilevel authentication is the fact that all services require the same authentication levels regardless of the sensitivity. The existing system requires the user to complete all levels of security in order to download the files. This can be a load on the server. The method of assigning authentication levels based on sensitivity of the applications will save time and resources and make response time more efficient. Our project classifies the distributed applications into several categories based on sensitivity. Depending upon the sensitivity levels, the authentication levels are fixed. Based on the authentication level to the applications, the accesses to the applications are provided to the users. The proposed system has been compared with distributed applications with multilevel authentication irrespective of sensitivity.
