Abstract
The field of Internet of Things (IoT) has transpired as a field of incredible growth, impact and potential. Its technological advancement has led to the development of smart environments in which heterogeneous smart devices enable shared communication among one another. User authentication is one of the significant factors in the IoT environment as it allows the users to communicate with the devices securely. Integration of authentication technologies with IoT ensures secure data retrieval and robust access control. as the devices send and receive highly sensitive data for different purposes. If an attacker manages to steal or spoof biometric data, they could potentially bypass this factor. This study suggests another approach to securing a system through authentication. The new approach was an adaptation of the three factor (3FA) authentication technique introducing a graphical password alongside the traditional requirements. The algorithm was validated using Burrows, Abadi and Needham (BAN) logic. An informal security analysis was also conducted to verify the authenticity of this system. The algorithm is implemented using the Hypertext pre-Processor (PHP) programming language to build the user application interface for the control of the IoT devices. The implementation of this improved 3FA technique demonstrate highly improved security features when compared to other relevant security schemes
