Abstract

Authenticating users to secure systems is a crucial task for security experts to solve a password problem, where user should able to memorize a password or secret and password should be hard to guess and crack by adversaries. In general, Most of the secure systems were designed with text passwords along with additional factors such as tokens like smart card, mobile device. Text passwords are not resistant to dictionary, brute-force and guessing attacks. This paper proposes a novel graphical password method, which solves the password problem and secure against all password vulnerabilities. Theoretically, graphical passwords are easy to memorize and recall them easily for long term and resistant to dictionary and brute-force search attacks.
