INTRODUCTIO
N
What is PASSWORD?
T h e t er m P A S S W O R Dc o m m o n l y r ef e r s t o a s e c re t u s ed f o r
u s e d m e ht o d f o d
ri e n fit y ni g u se r s i n c o m p u et r a n d c o m m u n
a u t h e n ti c a t io n . Passwords are the most commonly
i c at i o n s y s t e m s .
PASSWORDS are used for:-
Logging into accounts.
Retrieving emails.
Accessing applications.
Networks.
Websites.
Databases.
OVERVIEW OF THE AUTHENTICATION
METHODS
Token based authentication
Key cards, bank cards, smart card, ………..
Biometric based authentication
Fingerprints, iris scan, facial recognition, …….
Knowledge based authentication
Text-based passwords , picture-based passwords ,
……
Mostly widely used authentication techniques
TEXT
PASS
•W ORD
Text password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for user authentication
to prove his identity and gain access to resources.
DRAWBACK
Difficulty of remembering passwords.
easy to remember -> easy to guess
Hard to guess -> hard to remember
Vulnerable to attacks like Dictionary attack, Brute force attack.
GRAPHICAL
PASSWORD
Graphical passwords were originally described by BLONDER in 1996.
A graphical password is an authentication system that works by having the user
select from images , in a specific order, presented in a graphical user interface
(GUI).
For this reason, the graphical –password approach is sometimes called graphical
user authentication(GUA).
USEOF GRAPHICAL
PASSWORD
Web log-in application.
ATM machine.
Mobile device.
THE SURVEY: TWO
CATEGORIES
Recall Based Techniques
A user is asked to reproduce something that he created or selected earlier during the registration stage
Recognition Based Techniques
A user is presented with a set of images and the user passes the authentication by recognition and iden-
-tifying the images he selected during the registration stage
RECALLBASED
TECHNI
Q UES
Draw-A-Secret (DAS) Scheme
User draws a simple picture on a 2D grid, the coordinates of the grids
occupied by the picture are started in the order of drawing.
Redrawing has to touch the same grids in the same sequence in
authentication.
RECALLBASED
TECHNIQUES
Signature scheme
Here authentication conducted by having the user drawing the signature using a mouse.
RECALLBASED
TECHNIQUES
User
Passclick
point scheme
on any place on an image to create a password. A tolerance around each chosen pixel is calculated. In order
b
e authenticated, user must click within the tolerance in the correct sequence.
RECOGNITION BASED
TECHNIQUES
Passface Scheme:
In this technique human faces are used as password.
RECOGNITION BASED
TECH NIQUES
Sobrado and Birget Scheme
System display a number of pass-objects (pre-selected by user) among many other subjects, user click
inside the convex hull bounded by pass-objects.
DISCUSSIO
N Advantages of graphical password
Graphical password schemes provide a way of making more human-
friendly
Here the security of the system is very high.
Dictionary attacks and brute search are infesible.
DISCUS
SION
Disadvantage of Graphical password
Password registration and long-in process take too long.
Require much more storage space then text based
passwords.
Shoulder surfing.
CONCLUSIO
N Graphical passwords are on alternative to textual alphanumeric password.
It satisfies both conflicting requirements i.e. it is easy to remember & it is hard
to guess.
By the solution of the shoulder surfing problem, it becomes more secure &
easier password scheme.
Not yet widely used, current graphical password techniques are still immature.
