Title: Graphical Authentication for Web Based Application
Abstract: User authentication is an important topic in the field of information security. To enforce security of information, passwords were introduced. Text-based password is a popular authentication method used from ancient
times. However, text based passwords are prone to various attacks. Strong text-based password schemes could provide with a certain degree of security. However, the fact that strong passwords are difficult to memorize often leads their users to write them down on papers or even save them in a computer file. Human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as the weakest link in the authentication chain. A graphical password is one of the alternative solution to alphanumeric password as it is a very simple process to remember the alphanumeric password. One of the major reasons behind this method implementation is that, according to psychological studies human mind can easily remember images than alphabets or digits. Graphical authentication has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text-based authentication. A new technique of captcha and OTP is being used for the verification purpose. Three times a person is given chance to try for login if the person fails then he is blocked till the session expires.
