What is the best means to improve the security of a challenge-response based authentication system?
Implementing measures to prevent session hijacking attacks
Enhancing the length of authentication strings
Increasing the frequency of associated password changes
Selecting a more robust algorithm to generate challenge strings
Challenge response-based authentication is prone to session hijacking or man-in-the-middle attacks. Security management should be aware of this and engage in risk assessment and control design when they employ this technology. Selecting a more robust algorithm will enhance the security; however, this may not be as important in terms of risk when compared to man-in-the-middle attacks. Choices C and D are good security practices; however, they are not as effective a preventive measure. Frequently changing passwords is a good security practice; however, the exposures lurking in communication pathways may pose a greater risk.
