Authentication schemes and methods: A systematic literature review

This article aims to gather the existing knowledge on authentication techniques and ways to discern the most effective ones for different contexts. A systematic literature review is performed in order to gather existing authentication techniques proposed in literature and ways to compare and select them in different contexts. Usability, security and costs are the most used criteria for comparing and selecting authentication schemes, whereas the context is given an important remark as well. No framework among the ones found analyzed in detail both single-factor and multi-factor authentication techniques for the decision-making process.The review shows that a vast research has been done for authentication techniques, although its use in some contexts has not been researched as much. The lack of works regarding the comparison and selection of authentication techniques is observed.
