Sistema para la integración del proceso de autenticación en aplicaciones web mediante códigos QR

Abstract

Nowadays there are countless web applications whether they are for corporate use or simply for entertainment. Regardless of the reason why a user accesses these applications, the access method that usually consists of the entry of a user and password. Taking this into account, an average user must use several passwords for their web applications of work, emails, entertainment sites, social networks or any other application, sometimes generating some complications since you must remember the password of each application. Now, it is known that there are multiple malicious applications (malware) with which it is possible to obtain the data of the users that access their applications from internet cafe or from other devices accessing the web applications without any problem, since the developers of Applications do not have effective methods to validate if a person is who they say they are from their username and password. For this reason, the main goal of this project is to develop a system that provides on the one hand to web application developers a way to create more user-friendly Login modules with the end user, as well as with greater reliability of the user's identity. And on the other hand, allow users of these applications a system in which they do not have to remember several passwords and in which they can use their mobile device as an authentication factor. To fulfill this goal, an authentication system based on QR codes will be developed, which any developer, through the use of a JavaScript library which must be integrated into their web application, will be able to generate these codes in a simple and fast way so that a user can later read that code from a mobile application also developed in this project, which is responsible for delivering the information in real time just point the camera to the QR and without typing information every time you want to enter.
