Design and implementation of enhanced 3factor security protocol

Abstract

With rapid development and usage of technology among people, data migration has become an essential part of our life. Various removable devices like USB flash drives, hard drives, PDAs etc are used to move data. Removable media are widely used for transferring, storing or for backing up data. People often spend considerable amount of time generating data that are confidential even for the organization they work for. Maintaining confidentiality of data has become a great challenge. Any security threat can lead to organization’s sensitive data being compromised. Due to this many organizations restricts the usage of removable devices, but restricting usage of these devices is not an optimal solution. In this paper we will review various cryptographic techniques, algorithms and tools available for securing data on major platforms that might help in solving this problem.
