Smart Devices as Security Aspects of Personal Authentication Interface Technology

Abstract

The pandemic shutdowns have forced people, businesses, and governments in all walks of life to find solutions that do not require a personal presence, and digitalization has become even more prominent. E-government can offer citizens a very fast and efficient solution to deal with various administrative issues, but there are many procedures, not only in public administration, that require personal presence for proper authentication. This could be replaced in the future by an application for electronic personal authentication. This paper will discuss the possible development of mobile authentication applications in Hungary and the potential of such applications. New technologies may inevitably bring with them new types of risks, and the future large-scale diffusion of the technology under study in this paper is already a relevant factor from a national security perspective.
