Introduction
User authentication within systems is the cornerstone for security of computers for

and effective to maintain shared secret among user and computer system. Authentication
system based on password is used currently by the organization for controlling access to
information system of the organization. However, recent Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
policy’s implementation to the system has raised few security concerns (Farash & Attari

BYOD Risk Assessment
Information system of an organization consists of a set of different components that

organization depends on the following five essential components:
 Computer Hardware: It is a physical technology which works with data. The
hardware’s size can be as small as smartphones which can be kept inside a pocket or
as big as supercomputer. With rise of Internet of Things (IoT), from which any
devices from small appliances to vehicles would be able in receiving and transmitting
data.
 Computer Software: Software’s role is making decisions of the actions of hardware.
Software are of two types: application software and system software. Application
