Introduction
What is a Password

A password, sometimes called a passcode, is a secret data that is


used to identify a user and grant access to a device or website. It
protects our accounts and devices and also keep our information
safe and private.

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, etc.

 Biometric based authentication


 Fingerprints, iris scan, facial recognition, etc.

 Knowledge based authentication


 Text-based passwords, picture-based passwords, etc.
 Most widely used authentication techniques.

4
Text Password
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.

Drawbacks
 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 .
Many solutions have been proposed. Graphical
password is one of the solutions.

5
Graphical password
 Graphical passwords were originally described by BLONDER
in 1996.

 A graphical password is a type of authentication system


that uses images instead of text-based passwords to access
something.

 It is also known as graphical password authentication(GUA).

6
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 recognizing and identifying the
images he selected during the registration stage.

7
Recall based techniques
Draw-A-Secret (DAS) Scheme
 User draws a simple picture on a 2D grid, the coordinates of
the grids occupied by the picture are stored in the order of
drawing.

 Redrawing has to touch


the same grids in the
same sequence in
authentication.

8
Recall based techniques
Pass Point Scheme
User click on any place on an image in a sequence to create
a password. In order to be authenticated, user must click in
the same place on the image and in the correct sequence.

9
Recognition based techniques
Dhamija and Perrig Scheme
Pick several pictures out of many choices, identify them
later
in authentication.

10
Recognition based techniques
Passface Scheme
In this technique human faces are used as password.

11
Advantages
 Graphical password schemes provide a way of making
more human-friendly passwords .

 Here the security of the system is very high.

 Dictionary attacks and brute force search are infeasible.

12
Disadvantages
 Password registration and log-in process take too long.

 Require much more storage space than text based


passwords.

 Shoulder Surfing .

13
Conclusion
 Graphical passwords are an 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.
