The project focuses on researching the user-friendliness of selected authentication methods, specifically for verifying a person’s identity in digital communication. The authentication serves as clear-cut identification for the user with regard to the platform they access. An example of this, which we will use in our project, is the authentication for internet banking via a mobile device.

The project is focused on the development and modification of selected authentication methods based on user evaluations, and it aims to develop a method that will be safe, perceived as safe, and as user-friendly as possible.

The examined authentication methods involve:

• Authentication via a numeric code
• Authentication via a hardware token
• Authentication via an identification card with a chip
• Authentication via selected biometrics – face recognition or fingerprint recognition
