Implementation of an Advanced Authentication Method within Microsoft Active Directory Network Services

This paper describes a new approach for developing and implementing an advanced authentication method within active directory network services. For advance authentication process a new type of user multi-factor authentication based on the classical three-factor authentication extended by the position information and time is described in this paper. The main objectives of our applied research are extended security features for more robust and more secure user´s authentication process. Application scenario of advanced multi-factor authentication method within corporate networks based on the Microsoft Active Directory network services is presented. Five different factors for user´s authentication provide more secured access control layer for current corporate networks with Microsoft Active Directory with only small implementation costs.
