Abstract: Digital transaction systems, such as virtual top-up platforms, are widely used for mobile airtime and data purchases. While these systems provide convenience, they are vulnerable to security threats, including fraud, unauthorized access, and identity theft. Traditional authentication methods, such as passwords or simple OTPs, are no longer sufficient to protect sensitive user information and financial transactions. This paper presents a three-factor authentication system designed to enhance security in virtual top-up platforms. The proposed system combines....
