ELY , UK, April 22, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Increased cybercrime and theft of personally identifiable information have led to a rise in the adoption of two-factor authentication (TFA or 2FA). TFA is mandated by requirement 8.3 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and banks have been using it for years, combining payment cards and PINs. But TFA’s adoption has risen beyond the financial sector.

Two-factor Authentication, a new book by IT Governance Publishing, provides a comprehensive evaluation of popular secondary authentication methods and presents international examples of standards and regulations that make two-factor authentication a component of security guidance.

The book also examines multi-factor authentication (MFA), two-step verification (2SV) and strong authentication. It discusses the wider application of TFA for the average consumer, for example at such organisations as Google, Amazon and Facebook. It also considers the future of multi-factor authentication, including its application to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Two-factor Authentication is available from IT Governance in multiple formats (including softcover, Adobe eBook, Kindle and ePub):
