A Secure Recognition Based Graphical Password by Watermarking

Graphical user authentication (GUA) is an alternative replacement for traditional password that used text-based form. Even though GUA has high usability and security, it is also facing security attacks that legitimate from the traditional password such as brute force, shoulder surfing, dictionary attack, social engineering, and guessing attacks. The proposed category-based graphical user authentication (CGUA) scheme is developed for web application and based on image category. This category image is inspired from the Hanafuda Japanese card game. The scheme also involved several security features such as decoys, randomly assigned, hashing, limited login attempts, and random characters to strengthen the CGUA scheme. Overall, the proposed CGUA scheme was able to mitigate known attacks based on the security features analysis.

Nowadays in information security user authentication is a very important task. In most of the computer, user authentication depends on the alphanumeric username and password. It means text-based password. But, this is not highly secure because of hackers can easily break the password. Brute force attack, dictionary attack, guessing attack etc. these all are some possible attacks on the password. If the user chooses a difficult password to prevent the system from the attackers which is very much harder for the user to remember such a difficult password. So, to resolve this problem introduced a new technique called graphical password authentication. This paper presents a detailed survey of user authentication techniques using a graphical password. It contains basically two type approaches. They are recognition-based and recall-based approaches. This survey discusses the different techniques about Graphical password authentication and their advantages and limitations. The survey provides a roadmap for the development of new graphical authentication scheme.

“…The convex-hull designed by the pass-object has to be clicked by the users. Since the convex-hull"s size is quite big, there may be a successful login based on random clicking [25][26]. Sobrado and Birget proposed the usage of 1000 objects in the login process to make the space of password big enough and hard to guess.…”

User Authentication is a critical component in information security. Several widely used mechanisms for security to protect services from illegal access include alphanumerical usernames passwords. However, there are several drawbacks attached in this method. For instance, the users themselves usually those passwords that are easy to guess. As difficult passwords are difficult to recall. A new alternative is the graphic-based password and there has been a growing trend in the use of such a password. The human psychology study reveals that humans find it easier to remember pictures as opposed to words. There are two main aspects to the graphical password scheme, namely security and usability. This study comprises of a comprehensive research in the current Recognition-Based graphical password schemes. The common usability attributes and possible attacks on the Recognition-Based graphical password are reviewed, identified and examined in detail. There are several previous surveys on the graphical passwords. The latest research review and summarize graphical password systems concisely and at the same time, analyze usability features for every design. However it was found that there is not a single method that has the most resounding usability attributes. Therefore, this research suggests a set of usability attributes that can be applied into a single Recognition-Based graphical password system. In addition, this study examines and compares success rates on login, login time and memorability of existing systems which are the usability measures most often reported in user studies of graphical passwords. Lastly, a comparison table is revealed to put forth the limitations and strengths of each approach in terms of security and usability.
