Verificación en dos pasos en el proceso enseñanza/aprendizaje

As in other sectors, in the teaching / learning process there is a need to keep user accounts protected and access to different services of the university community: email, cloud repositories such as Drive or Dropbox where the teacher stores the work material and exams and the students their work, the list of all the students, the training platforms, the service of recording the results of the evaluations, the personal data of the worker and student in the educational center , etc. Security in online services is achieved identifying o validating the user’s identity through several methods. Nowadays, a single method is not enough and the use of a second authentication factor, either in software or hardware format. We present the study carried out at the University of Salamanca and propose different proposals for a second authentication factor, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
