| Summary: | A memorization-based locking system is
widely used in today’s smart devices, where a user has
to repeat a text/number/pattern/others from the
remembrance that has been registered before. He/she
would be allowed to access the device if the newly
given password is matched with the registered one.
However, among this class of passwords, graphical
password schemes are more compatible for smart
devices due to their heavily graphic-oriented nature.
However, existing graphical password schemes
experience various attacks and threats. Among them
shoulder surfing is the most prominent one, where an
attacker can observe the password through picking on
the screen. In this project, we propose a shoulder surfing
resistant password scheme using press code, which is a
new kind of code; and hence, a novel authentication
scheme. In the proposed technique, a user can
authenticate thyself by repeating the registered press
code. We implement our proposed technique on the
Android platform, and we have a prototype to
demonstrate at present. |
