The Obstacle:
When user credentials are requested for authorized access, they travel between both endpoints in real time in order to communicate and complete specific actions. Man-in-the-Middle attack intercepts the flow of data covertly, enabling the ability to alter communication between users and steal confidential information or login credentials just by impersonating as as the user/recipient or the application.
The Solution:
ACS ProtectID addresses the primary loophole in traditional Two-Factor and Multi-Factor Authentication by splitting the username from the password. Both pieces of information are transmitted over two separate channels (i.e Internet and Phone), vs. just on a single channel, averting any man-in-the middle attempt. ProtectID creates an additional layer of security to ensure explicit authentication, even if one of the authentication channels has been compromised.
