Abstract
Information security is necessary for any organization. Intrusion prevention is the basic level of security which requires user authentication. User can be authenticated to a machine by passwords. Traditional textual passwords are vulnerable to many attacks. Graphical passwords are introduced as alternatives to textual passwords to overcome these problems. This paper introduces native language passwords for authentication. Native language character set consists of characters with single or multiple strokes. User can select one (or more) character(s) for his password. The shape and strokes of the characters are used for authentication.
Highlights
The main objective of the intruder is to gain access to a system with the knowledge of some user’s password and login to a system like a legitimate user
If the password length is too short, it is easy for intruder to find the password
This paper focuses on user study for time required for registration and login of native language password authentication technique
Summary
The main objective of the intruder is to gain access to a system with the knowledge of some user’s password and login to a system like a legitimate user. Users select English for their textual passwords and it makes password guessing, eaves dropping, dictionary attacks and shoulder surfing easy. To overcome these vulnerabilities, graphical password schemes have been introduced. A new shape based textual authentication scheme for native language passwords is proposed. Users can remember their native language passwords better than any other language.
