Artificial Intelligence and National Security: The Role of Two-Step Verification in Safeguarding Privacy and Digital Rights
Khaled M.M. Alrantisi · Preprints.org · 2025
In the age of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital rights have become increasingly intertwined. This paper explores the role of Two-Step Verification (2SV) as a pivotal mechanism in securing digital identities and infrastructures. Drawing primarily on the work of Alrantisi [10], and contextualized within broader AI-driven threat landscapes [9] and human rights concerns [8], the paper investigates how 2SV complements machine learning-based threat detection while enhancing privacy and user autonomy. The study further discusses its implementation across governmental and enterprise domains, outlines current limitations—such as vulnerability to SIM-swapping and user fatigue—and suggests innovative paths forward through AI-integrated and biometric verification methods. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes that 2SV, when ethically deployed, can act as both a technological safeguard and a human rights protector in an increasingly automated world.
