Challenges in GenAI and Authentication: a scoping review
It addresses evolving security challenges for digital authentication systems due to generative AI advancements, though it is an incremental review rather than novel research.
This scoping review analyzed 88 documents to identify challenges, threats, and gaps in authentication systems related to generative AI across images, text, audio, and video, supporting future research in this area.
Authentication and authenticity have been a security challenge since the beginning of information sharing, especially in the context of digital information. With the advancement of generative artificial intelligence, these challenges have evolved, demanding a more up-to-date analysis of their impacts on society and system security. This work presents a scoping review that analyzed 88 documents from the IEEExplorer, Scopus, and ACM databases, promoting an analysis of the resulting portfolio through six guiding questions focusing on the most relevant work, challenges, attack surfaces, threats, proposed solutions, and gaps. Finally, the portfolio articles are analyzed through this guiding research lens and also receive individualized analysis. The results consistently outline the challenges, gaps, and threats related to images, text, audio, and video, thereby supporting new research in the areas of authentication and generative artificial intelligence.
