Unveiling the Covert Vulnerabilities in Multi-Factor Authentication Protocols: A Systematic Review and Security Analysis

Nowadays, cyberattacks are growing at an alarming rate, causing widespread havoc to the digital community. In particular, authentication attacks have become a dominant attack vector, allowing intruders to impersonate legitimate users and maliciously access resources. Traditional single-factor authentication (SFA) protocols, which rely on a single authentication factor, are often insufficient to address the growing sophistication of modern cyberattacks. To address the shortcomings in SFA, multi-factor authentication (MFA) protocols have been widely adopted in recent years, raising the security bar against impostors and restricting unauthorized accesses. MFA enhances security by incorporating multiple authentication factors, such as knowledge-based (e.g., passwords), possession-based (e.g., tokens), and inherent-based factors (e.g., biometrics), among others. However, while MFA is generally considered more secure than SFA, it is not foolproof. Because, critical vulnerabilities may still arise due to design or implementation flaws in MFA protocols. These vulnerabilities are often overlooked by designers or users and remain undetected until exploited by attackers, potentially resulting in catastrophic consequences. Unfortunately, existing works failed to adequately analyze and identify most of such critical security flaws in MFA protocols. In this work, we systematically analyze the intricate design and construction of MFA protocols to uncover potential design-level security flaws. To this end, we first define eight security evaluation criteria that are essential to critically evaluate design-level security flaws of MFA protocols. These criteria are primarily derived from existing and newly introduced MFA security requirements. We then review a range of MFA protocols across various domains. Using our established evaluation criteria, we perform a systematic security analysis and evaluation of these protocols, particularly focusing on their design and construction. Ultimately, we uncover several security flaws in most of the MFA protocols evaluated. Due to space limitation, we select ten of those protocols for deeper security analysis and provide a detailed discussion of the respective flaws identified. Additionally, we devised relevant mitigation strategies for each of the flaws identified. We believe that our findings provide valuable insights to cybersecurity researchers and practitioners to help them address a wide range of security flaws in MFA protocols.

Human Trafficking in the Global South: A Bibliometric Analysis of Publications Using Scopus Database 2013-2024

Human trafficking is a wide-ranging crime with numerous victims and various patterns. The population living mainly in low and middle-income countries of the Global South is more vulnerable to being trafficked. Selected countries from the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America are samples used to examine human trafficking of scholarly works between 2013 and 2023. This article investigates research trends on human trafficking in the Global South from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America between 2012 and 2024. A bibliometric method was adopted. Articles published in the Scopus-indexed journals were retrieved. The research period was designated from 2013 to 2023. The articles that were retrieved closely related to the topic were three hundred thirty-five. The overall number of authors is seven hundred and twenty-one people. The average number of authors per document is 2.2. International co-authors are 29%. Then, there are typically 101 single authors, and each writer publishes roughly three articles. Migration is an issue that articles discuss the most (n=335;81 works), followed by sex trafficking (n=335;75 publications), slavery (n=335;70 articles), forced labor (n=335;34 articles), smuggling (n=335;34 publications), child trafficking (n=335;17), human experiment (n=335;6) and terrorism (n=335;1 works). Africa has more articles than other regions in the Global South. The top three active institutions are the University of Georgia (USA) (12 articles), the University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (10 publications), and the University of Nigeria (9 publications). The Journal of Human Trafficking is a journal with the highest citation. The issue mainly cited in the Marine Policy journal is forced labor. Migration, sex trafficking, and slavery are the dominant issues several journals address in dealing with human trafficking in the Global South. The literature on the terrorism of human trafficking in the Global South was notably lacking. The human experiment also has little attention.

Brute-force attack mitigation on remote access services via software-defined perimeter

Remote Access Services (RAS)—including protocols such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Secure Shell (SSH), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)—are essential to modern network infrastructures, particularly with the rise of remote work and cloud adoption. However, their exposure significantly increases the risk of brute-force attacks (BFA), where adversaries systematically guess credentials to gain unauthorized access. Traditional defenses like IP blocklisting and multifactor authentication (MFA) often struggle with scalability and adaptability to distributed attacks. This study introduces a zero-trust-aligned Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) architecture that integrates Single Packet Authorization (SPA) for service cloaking and Connection Tracking (ConnTrack) for real-time session analysis. A Docker-based prototype was developed and tested, demonstrating no successful BFA attempts observed, latency reduction by above 10% across all evaluated RAS protocols, and the system CPU utilization reduction by 48.7% under attack conditions without impacting normal throughput. It also proved effective against connection-oriented attacks, including port scanning and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The proposed architecture offers a scalable and efficient security framework by embedding proactive defense at the authentication layer. This work advances zero-trust implementations and delivers practical, low-overhead protection for securing RAS against evolving cyber threats.

Trends and Developments in Italian Research in Exercise and Sport Sciences: A Bibliometric Analysis

Background of the study: In Italy, the subfield “Exercise and Sport Sciences” (ESS) has been recently redefined due to European Union legislation regulating funding distribution under the Next Generation EU Plan. ESS is now placed exclusively within Clinical Medicine and the Sport Sciences subfield, having been removed from Social Sciences and no longer associated with Education subfield. Previous studies have analysed ESS’s scientific productivity and its impact on the international community, assessing overall and specific scientific output (H-Index). Objective: The aim is to compile an extensive ranking of scientists, limited to 200 researchers from the Scopus database, focusing on those affiliated with Italian universities and classified within the Group of Academic Scientific Discipline (GoASD) in Exercise and Sport Sciences, further divided into Physical Training (MEDF-01/A) and Sport Sciences (MEDF-01/B) for the period 2017–2022. The rankings include total impact, relative impact in Sport Sciences, total impact weighted by authorship, and relative impact weighted by authorship. Methodology: This study adopts a multi-phase, quantitative bibliometric analysis, utilizing data sourced from the Scopus database. First, a keyword-based selection process was applied using six terms (Sport, Physical Education, Physical Training, Exercise, Sports Education, and Sports Science) to identify relevant researchers. The Scopus Researcher Discovery tool was employed to filter Italian authors linked to these keywords. In the second phase, the total h-index for each researcher (2017–2022) was extracted, followed by the calculation of a keyword-specific relative h-index. The study further introduces an authorship-weighted h-index, assigning specific percentage values based on author positions (single author, first author, last author, co-author) to reflect the actual contribution of each scientist. Results: The study identified 83 Italian scientists from a pool of 250, with 42 in MEDF-01/A and 41 in MEDF-01/B. It shows that applying a weighting criterion can significantly alter authors’ rankings, providing a more accurate measure of their true contribution. By using both weighted and unweighted metrics, the study offers a reliable evaluation of Italian researchers’ performance within the ESS, integrating data from Scopus and CINECA. Conclusions: This multidimensional approach not only provides a more accurate representation of the Italian scientific community promoting a more sustainable development of ESS in the international context.

Framework for assessing the risk to a field from fraudulent researchers: A case study of Alzheimer's disease

Abstract Concerns over research integrity are rising, with increasing attention to potential threats from untrustworthy authors. We established a framework to gauge the potential negative influence of researchers potentially engaged in misconduct. The field of Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has been a focal point of these worries. This study aims to assess the risk posed by questionable studies or individuals potentially engaging in fraudulent science in research by examining citation relationships among papers, taking AD research as an illustrative example. Analysis of citation network structure can elucidate the potential propagation of misinformation arising at the author level. Our analysis revealed that there aren't any single authors or papers whose citation connections jeopardize a major portion of the field's literature. This indicates a low probability of single entities undermining the majority of works in this area. However, our findings suggest that attention to the research integrity of the most influential scientists is warranted. Some scientists can reach a sizable minority of the literature through citations to their work. Emphasizing oversight of the integrity of these authors is crucial, given their influence on the field. Our study introduces an analytical framework adaptable across various fields and disciplines to evaluate potential risks from fraudulence.

Women And Islam Disability in Literary Work of Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim

This study investigates the intersection of women, Islam, and disability as represented in the literary works of Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim (RII), a disabled woman author. RII's work is significant for its advocacy of women's independence and equality with men, while also highlighting the potential and agency of people with disabilities. The research aims to uncover how RII, as a disabled author, promotes innovation, independence, and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study analyzes RII's writings through the lens of hermeneutic theory, encompassing textual, contextual, and critical interpretations. Feminist theory is also utilized to examine RII's personal advocacy for women's dignity. Data, derived from RII's authorship and literary works. This research lies in its unique intersectional approach, examining the representation of women, Islam, and disability in the work of a single author. The study reveals that while the struggles and rights of women, as portrayed in RII's novels, align with Islamic values of equality as found in the Qur'an, the lived experiences of people with disabilities often fall short of this ideal. RII's work seeks to challenge societal perceptions and advocate for justice and inclusivity, aiming to transform perspectives on disability and promote equality in all aspects of life. This study has the potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of the representation of disability in literature, particularly within the context of Islamic and feminist discourses. It can inform discussions on social justice, inclusivity, and the rights of marginalized groups.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome-a scoping review.

An estimated 3% of all newborns with congenital heart disease develop hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), making it a prominent cause of mortality in this group if surgical procedures or a heart transplant are not implemented. While compelling evidence supports a genetic element, identifying a particular genetic cause is limited to a subgroup of patients, indicating a complex and multifaceted origin for this condition. The objective of this scientific contribution was to identify, synthesize, and analyze the scientific knowledge produced regarding the implications of researching on HLHS in a scoping review. The search for articles was diligently conducted between January 1, 2019 and February 20, 2025 on the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. This search was assiduously complemented by a gray search. It included internet browsers (e.g., Google) and medical textbooks. The following research question steered our study: "What are the basic data on the etiology and pathogenesis on HLHS?" All stages of the selection process were iwis carried out by the single author. Of the 1,364 articles found, 75 were included in the sample for analysis, which was implemented with an additional 25 articles from references and gray literature. The studies analyzed indicated that HLHS is one of the most complex congenital heart defects, characterized by small or hypoplastic left-sided heart structures and a dominant right ventricle. The Fontan circulation and the phased surgical technique that it entails have been the cornerstones of HLHS patient care since its debut some 40 years ago. Although there is considerable genetic evidence for HLHS, the exact genetic cause of this cardiologic entity is still not well known. HLHS remains genetically heterogeneous. There is evidence of incomplete penetrance for the C57Bl/6J-b2b635Clo/J (Ohia) mice. HLHS is a complex and complicate congenital heart disease, which requires further investigation. In this article, I further explore the involvement of the endocardium in the progression of ventricular hypoplasia, therefore offering a potential explanation for the morphological alterations observed in the disease as a result of compromised blood flow to the developing ventricle. These findings may support a new paradigm for the complicated genetics of this congenital heart defect and there is some evidence that HLHS can originate genetically in a combinatorial approach.

The reception of Bialik and his work in North Africa

This article delves into the reception of Haim Naḥman Bialik and his work across Jewish communities in North Africa during the first half of the twentieth century. Unlike studies to date, I do not dwell on any single author or piece; rather, I offer a panoramic perspective, with figures, texts and events. I suggest that the volume of dialogues and historic events revealed in the article, as well as their multiple aspects, speak to North African Jewry’s deep familiarity with Bialik and his work, shedding light on his status as a national bard in the region. Highlighting his status as a cultural icon, the article explores four key aspects: Bialik references in the Jewish North African press during his lifetime and after his death; Bialik’s impact on North African Zionist activists; studies and translations of Bialik’s poetry, as well as North African poetry inspired by his works; familiarity with, and demand for, Bialik’s books.

Collective Mental Action: Turning Texts into Statutes

Abstract How exactly do we know that a text is a law? This paper argues that purely legalistic explanations are inadequate because they do not explain why certain voting rules possess the authority to alter the statute book. Rejecting the modern tendency to view legislatures as a “they, not an ‘it’,” I critically examine Michael Bratman’s proceduralist theory, which draws on the traditional idea of a single legislative author. Bratman holds that statutes express the legislature’s collective intentions, understood as the outcome of legislators’ shared preferences regarding procedural matters. I argue that Bratman’s approach overemphasizes rational coherence and confers undue power on individual minority legislators. To address these concerns, the paper revises Bratman’s framework to a) incorporate a majoritarian rule of aggregation and, b) conceive of legislation as a mental act involving the formation of a collective policy “will” rather than a collective policy “intention.” This conceptual shift relaxes the rationality threshold for legislative action and aligns Bratman’s framework more closely with the pragmatic realities of legislative assemblies.

Functional potential of modern media review: informing and promotion

The article presents an analysis of expressive language means used by the author of a modern media review to implement the function of informing and the function of influencing (expressive), the implementation of which is associated with the function of promoting a certain author's idea into the consciousness of the addressee. The language material for the study was selected from review articles by professional media critics T. Moskvina in Arguments of the Week, A. Kondrashov and V. Matizen in Literaturnaya Gazeta. These media reviews (2020–2024) are devoted to cultural events in Russian cinema. The language means of the analyzed media reviews are considered from the point of view of pragmatics. The study of expressive language means is based on the semantic-stylistic and functional-pragmatic methods. The article draws attention to the fact that media review, traditionally being an analytical genre, includes elements of other genre groups, therefore in a modern media review informing, analysis, evaluation are intertwined within one specific text and implement a single author's intention — promotion of this or that information into the consciousness of the recipient in order to change or form a certain view of a cultural phenomenon. To do this, the author, on the one hand, seeks to provide a weighty argument, and on the other hand, to select such expressive language means as to have an effective impact on the addressee. In the course of the analysis, it was revealed that such effective expressive means are metaphors, including conceptual and onomastic, irony, elements of language play, transformed phraseological units, quotations, reminiscences, rhetorical questions. The analysis of the material revealed that these expressive linguistic means have a special potential for influence when placed in the title and subtitle, which a priori form a positive/negative attitude towards the analyzed film phenomenon in the recipient’s consciousness

Evaluating research quality with Large Language Models: An analysis of ChatGPT’s effectiveness with different settings and inputs

ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluating the quality of academic journal articles is a time consuming but critical task for national research evaluation exercises, appointments and promotion. It is therefore important to investigate whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can play a role in this process. Design/methodology/approach This article assesses which ChatGPT inputs (full text without tables, figures, and references; title and abstract; title only) produce better quality score estimates, and the extent to which scores are affected by ChatGPT models and system prompts. Findings The optimal input is the article title and abstract, with average ChatGPT scores based on these (30 iterations on a dataset of 51 papers) correlating at 0.67 with human scores, the highest ever reported. ChatGPT 4o is slightly better than 3.5-turbo (0.66), and 4o-mini (0.66). Research limitations The data is a convenience sample of the work of a single author, it only includes one field, and the scores are self-evaluations. Practical implications The results suggest that article full texts might confuse LLM research quality evaluations, even though complex system instructions for the task are more effective than simple ones. Thus, whilst abstracts contain insufficient information for a thorough assessment of rigour, they may contain strong pointers about originality and significance. Finally, linear regression can be used to convert the model scores into the human scale scores, which is 31% more accurate than guessing. Originality/value This is the first systematic comparison of the impact of different prompts, parameters and inputs for ChatGPT research quality evaluations.

Prevalence and characteristics of group standardized letters of evaluation in emergency medicine: A cross-sectional observational study.

The standardized letter of evaluation (SLOE) for emergency medicine (EM) is a well-established tool for residency selection. While previous work characterizes the utility and outcomes related to SLOE use, less is known about SLOE authorship patterns and trends. The objective was to measure the prevalence of group SLOEs in EM over time, characterize the role groups represented in group SLOEs, and compare the rating practices of groups of authors versus single authors. SLOE data from 2016 through 2021 were obtained from the CORD database. An algorithm was developed to process SLOE author fields to accomplish three tasks: (1) determine whether the SLOE was written by an individual or a group, (2) determine the number of named letter writers on group SLOEs, and (3) identify roles of individuals listed on group SLOEs. A total of 150 SLOEs were randomly selected for review by the study team to use as a standard to which algorithm performance was compared. Mean ratings were compared for (1) individual versus group SLOEs and (2) individual SLOEs from clerkship directors (CDs) versus others. A total of 40,218 SLOEs met inclusion criteria. The algorithm performed well in detecting group SLOEs, authors, and titles. Institutions submitting only SLOEs written by a group of authors increased from 31.4% to 54.5%. Authors per group SLOE increased from 3.4 in 2016 to 4.0 in 2021. Mean ratings were slightly higher in individual SLOEs compared to group SLOEs. Individual SLOEs from non-CDs had higher ratings compared to those from CDs. The proportion of SLOEs authored by groups increased over the study interval. Grading practices are similar between group SLOEs and individual SLOEs authored by CDs. Individual SLOEs from non-CDs had slightly higher ratings compared to the other groups.

Erckmann-Chatrian : « deux plumes jumelles » ? Heurs et malheurs de l’écriture en collaboration

Erckmann and Chatrian collaborated from 1847 to 1887 and wrote collections of short stories, novels, and plays under a dual name. Journalists thought they were a single author, while Pierre Larousse called them «the twin writers» and «the Siamese brothers of con-temporary literature». But this four-handed literary enterprise came to an end when Chatrian confessed to Erckmann that he was paying ghostwriters for theatrical adaptations on behalf of his colleague and friend. The use of collaborators from outside the duo put an end to a friendship and a system that had worked for forty years. Their resounding separation led to a trial to determine who really had the pen.

Porphyry of Tyre’s De Stygo (A Translation and Notes)

The publication presents a commented Russian translation of Porphyry of Tyre’s (ca. 234 – ca. 305) treatise On the Styx (Περὶ Στυγός), which belongs to the group of his works dealing with Homeric poems. The best known of these is his fully preserved treatise On the Cave of the Nymphs (Περὶ τοῦ ἐν Ὀδυσσείᾳ τῶν νυμφῶν ἄντρου), while the most extensive are his partially preserved commentaries on the Ilias and Odyssey known under the common title of the Homeric Questions (Ὁμηρικὰ ζητήματα). Finally, his treatise On the Styx is extant only in fragments, which have been preserved by a single author only, Joannes Stobaeus (fl. vth century). In the Homeric Questions, a purely philological attitude is predominant, based on Aristarchus of Samothrace’s principle of “self-interpreting” text, “explaining Homerus from Homerus (Ὅμηρον ἐξ Ὁμήρου)”, while in both treatises the allegorical interpretation of the Homeric text moves to the foreground, which entails supplying it with a philosophical, specifically Platonic, content, having to do, above all, with the understanding of human soul and its vicissitudes after death. Attention to the letter of the Homeric text, as well as to other literary phenomena is not diminished by that, though undergoes a transformation. This attitude is characteristic of other Platonists as well, from Numenius of Apamea before Porphyry to Proclus Diadochus after him. The Russian translation is based on Cristiano Castelletti’s edition of On the Styx (2006), taking into account both the standard edition of Porphyry’s fragments by Andrew Smith (1993) and the still relevant critical edition of the four books of Stobaeus’ Anthology (whence the fragments of On the Styx have been extracted) by Kurt Wachsmuth and Otto Hense (1884–1912).

Relationality, interconnectedness, and identity: A process‐focused approach to second language acquisition and teaching (SLA/T)

Abstract This complex article has six subsections. Following a brief introduction, one team of three co‐authors and three single authors present compact statements of their distinctive individual research perspectives on second language acquisition and teaching (SLA/T): Atkinson, Mejía‐Laguna, and Ribeiro offer a sociocognitive perspective; Cappellini introduces an eclectic perspective in which online communication is analyzed multimodally; Kayi‐Aydar develops a broad‐based identity perspective; and Lowie presents a complex dynamic systems theory perspective on SLA/T. In the final subsection of this article, the six authors investigate together how their different perspectives might synergize with and complement each other. Conceptually, they develop five main points: (a) SLA/T is a process, (b) SLA/T is relational and ecological, (c) SLA/T occurs on multiple temporal dimensions and analytical levels, and (d) SLA/T is multimodal and embodied. Methodologically, they find common ground in multimethods and case‐based research approaches covering a range of different timescales. Pedagogically, they acknowledge the diversity of educational environments around the world, support local autonomy for teachers, and understand learning as emergent.

Research on the Application of Blockchain Technology in Network Quality Assurance and Trust Building

ABSTRACTWith the rapid development of Compute‐First Networking (CFN), network computing resources have become a critical factor in network forwarding, while the centralization defects of traditional Internet trust systems—such as single authentication methods, vulnerability of central nodes, and low scalability—pose significant challenges to network security and transmission efficiency. Blockchain technology, characterized by tamper‐proofing, distributed sharing, and decentralization, offers a novel solution to enhance trustworthiness in CFN. This study aims to construct a network path quality assurance and dynamic trust evaluation mechanism for CFN based on blockchain technology. The goal is to address the centralization issues of traditional systems, improve the reliability of computing resources in network forwarding, and verify the technical feasibility through experimental validation. In the system design phase, it develops blockchain data structures, implements smart contracts, and establishes a network quality monitoring mechanism; In the algorithm optimization phase, it employs a fuzzy algorithm for dynamic node deployment and uses mathematical models (Equations 1‐3) to reduce latency and optimize transmission paths; In the experimental validation phase, it simulates CFN environments in laboratories to compare the performance of blockchain and traditional encrypted communication in terms of latency, bandwidth, and reliability. Experimental results demonstrate that blockchain technology enables more effective backtracking of network states and provides better forwarding paths in CFN environments.Experimental verification confirms that this technology achieves approximately 90% accuracy for network path verification protocols under attack scenarios, surpassing existing solutions, while simultaneously demonstrating superior performance in both latency and bandwidth metrics compared to conventional encryption protocols. This research confirms that blockchain technology effectively resolves centralization issues in traditional trust systems, providing a trustworthy mechanism for CFN network quality assurance. The findings offer technical support for next‐generation Internet trust systems. Future work will focus on deploying the technology in real CFN environments and optimizing algorithms for practical applications.
