SESSION AUTHENTICATION PASSWORD USING COLOR

ABSTRACT

Textual passwords are the most common method used for

authentication. But textual passwords are vulnerable 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 vulnerable to shoulder surfing. To address this problem,

text can be combined with images or colors to generate session passwords for

authentication. Session passwords can be used only once and every time a new

password is generated. In this paper, two techniques are proposed to generate

session passwords using text and colors which are resistant to shoulder surfing.

These methods are suitable for Personal Digital Assistants.

Front end : Python

Back end : MySQL
