AB  - Mobile devices are becoming more pervasive and more advanced with respect 
  to their processing power and memory size. Relying on the personalized and trusted 
  nature of such devices, security features can be deployed on them in order to 
  uniquely identify a user to a service provider. In this study, researchers present 
  a strong authentication mechanism that exploits the use of mobile devices to 
  provide a two aspect authentication system. The approach uses a combination 
  of One-Time Passwords as the first authentication aspect and credentials stored 
  on a mobile device as the second aspect to offer a strong and secure authentication 
  approach. By adding an SMS-based mechanism is implemented as both a backup mechanism 
  for retrieving the password and as a possible mean of synchronization. Researchers 
  also present an analysis of the security and usability of this mechanism. The 
  security protocol is analyzed against an adversary model; this evaluation proves 
  that the method is safe against various attacks, most importantly key logging, 
  shoulder surfing and phishing attacks. The simulation result evaluation shows 
  that although, the technique does add a layer of indirectness that lessens usability; 
  participants were willing to trade-off that usability for enhanced security 
  once they became aware of the potential threats when using an untrusted computer.
