Abstract
In today’s era of improved technology, ease of availability of Internet made every user to access the data at finger tips. Every day transactions are also accomplished online as it is very easy and take less time. Authentication and confidentiality plays a vital role in transmitting the data through the medium of Internet. Authentication is usually implemented through any or all of the authentication factors such as username, password, smart cards, biometrics etc. If the user is unable to provide any of the authentication factors to the system at that instance of time, the user becomes unauthenticated and cannot make any transaction even though, a legitimate user. In this paper we are proposing a new factor for authentication called the fourth factor. This is based on social relations where the legitimate but unauthenticated user can take the help of any trusted third party like a friend, spouse, blood relation who will support in the authentication process in case of failure of credentials. The user can be authenticated with the trusted party and can make a single emergency transaction.
