Authentication Research Paper Index
A core objective of the Password Research Institute is to improve the industry awareness of existing authentication research.
Many valuable solutions for the problems associated with authentication have gone unnoticed by the
people interested in, or responsible for, authentication security.
This project will compile and share a comprehensive, but moderated, index of password and authentication
related research papers. We aim to share the details of useful papers, provide access to the papers,
and encourage collaboration between authors and other security professionals.
Please note that we are currently in the process of manually transferring our existing database of research papers into a
new format that can be published here. Accordingly, you may see papers missing from this index that we fully intend to share
as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience during this work.
If you have an appropriate research paper to add, please send a copy of the paper along with details
on its source to
siteupdates@passwordresearch.com.
