Suppose that you are appointed as Chief Security Office (CSO) in an organization which deals with very critical and classified resources. The resources are so highly confidential that only authorized personnel should be given access to this facility. Access to unauthorized people may cause severe threats to national security. This facility is newly built and currently doesn’t have any automated information technology-based authentication system. After being appointed as CSO, the first task you have been assigned is to design an IT based authentication system which verifies the identity of a person when he/she wants to access the facility. Propose and explain an authentication system which can be used for verification of employees to let only those personnel give access to classified resources who have proper access rights. Please note that single factor authentication may not serve the purpose well.
