OCR-Based Data Authentication for Online Banking

The OffPAD (Offline Personal Authentication Device) can be a separate hardware device or it can be integrated with a smartphone. The OffPAD enables multiple security solutions such as for user authentication, server authentication, data authentication and secure storage. However, it is crucial that the solutions are user friendly. This project focuses on investigating the usability of the various security solutions offered by the OffPAD. This Master's project was part of IfI's OffPAD research project which focused on supporting trusted online interactions in environments of malware-infected hosts. The OffPAD research project was a Eurostars project managed by the industry partner TazTag in France.
