Authentication Scheme for Passwords using Color and Text
Keywords:
Graphical passwords, Recognition-based, Cued- recall based, Pure-recall based authentication scheme.Abstract
The most common method used for authentication is textual passwords. But textual passwords are in risk to eves dropping, dictionary attacks, social engineering and shoulder surfing. Graphical passwords are introduced as alternative techniques to textual passwords. Most of the graphical schemes are helpless to shoulder surfing as well as it has higher storage and computational complexity. To address this problem, text can be combined with colors to generate passwords for authentication. The combination of color and text password with efficient matching between the two provides authentication as well as security to the user. Hence using the technique of integration with color and textual password is proposed to generate passwords which are resistant to shoulder surfing.
