    A Graphical Password Authentication System

    Uploaded by

    Sai Nadh
    This document proposes a graphical password authentication system as an alternative to traditional alphanumeric passwords. It describes how graphical passwords work by having users select images or points on an image to authenticate. This increases the password space and could make passwords harder to crack via brute force attacks. The document also discusses how graphical passwords may be better for user authentication than text passwords since people typically remember images better than words. It presents some example graphical password schemes and discusses how the size of the password space provides more entropy than text passwords.

    A Graphical Password Authentication System

    Abstract Introduction Identification Passwords Passphrase Biometrics Graphical password Conclusion References

    Graphical passwords provide a alternative view to traditional alphanumeric passwords.

    In this extended abstract , propose a simple graphical password authentication system .It describes operation with some examples, and highlight important aspects of the system

    Use textual passwords augmented by some graphical capabilities They are attractive since people usually remember pictures better than words Also, they should be more resistant to bruteforce attacks, since the search space is practically infinite.

    Possession (something I have) Key Passport Smart s Card

    Knowledge (something I know) Password PIN

    Biometrics (something I am) Face Fingerprint Iris

    Passwords: method of choice for user authentication Usually it is 8-15 character or slightly more than that Ten years back Klein performed such tests and he could crack 10-15 passwords per day. Now with the technology change, fast processors and many tools on the Internet this has become a Child's Play.

    Its nothing but the enhance version of password. Usually it is a combination of words or simply collection of password in proper sequence is passphrase. Length of passphrase is about 30-50 character or more than that also 30-50 character is creates ambiguity to remember if there is no any proper sequence

    Refer to a broad range of technologies Automate the identification or verification of an individual Based on human characteristics or body organs

    Physiological: Face, fingerprint, iris Behavioral: Hand-written signature, voice

    With graphical assistance

    DRAW-A-SECRET (DAS) SCHEME

    Password is picture drawn on a grid.

    Users freed from having to remember alphanumeric string. What is good about picture-based password?

    SCREEN SHOTS:

    Encryption Tool for PDA

    Use Triple-DES to encrypt/decrypt data stored on PDA

    Sequence of coordinates of password P

    Hashed using SHA-1

    Ek(P)

    Store Ek(P)

    ressult = P ??

    Size of Password space


    Lmax
    (Lmax,G) = P(L,G)

    L=1

    P : password Grid size GxG L : length of password Lmax : maximum length of password

    P(L,G)

    N: number of strokes = P(L-l,G)N(lG) l : length of stoke

    l=L

    l=1
    N(l,G) = n(x,y,l,G) (x,y)[1..G]x[1..G] n : number of strokes of length l (x,y) : ending cell

    DRAW-A-SECRET (DAS) SCHEME

    However, above table shows raw size of graphical password space surpasses that of textual passwords

    Graphical password scheme

    To login, user is required to click within the circled red regions (chosen when created the password) in this picture. The choice for the four regions is arbitrary

    In future systems other patterns may be used for recalling purpose like touch of smells, study shows that these patterns are very useful in recalling the associated objects like images or text.
