Enhancing Data Warehouse Security: An Encrypted Cued-Click-Points Authentication Approach

Text passwords and other traditional security measures have been the mainstay of current data warehouse content security techniques. Due to the growing computational capability of information systems, security requirements, especially for the selection of secure text passwords, have changed throughout time. Because database administrators are either unaware of these changes or are overburdened by the magnitude of the adjustments necessary to remedy them, these vulnerabilities are typically invisible to them. As a result, research on usable authentication schemes have picked up steam, with the goal of developing a secure authentication method using cued click points and encryption techniques for accessing a hybrid data warehouse. This scheme aims to enhance the security of data access by combining the unique characteristics of cued click points with encryption to create a robust authentication system. The project will involve designing and implementing the authentication scheme, testing its effectiveness in a hybrid data warehouse environment, and evaluating its performance in terms of security and usability. Overall, the project aims to provide a secure and user-friendly authentication solution for accessing sensitive data in a hybrid data warehouse setting. This scheme utilizes a combination of encryption techniques and user-specific click points to verify user identity and access to the data warehouse. It also discusses the potential benefits of this authentication scheme in terms of data security and user experience.

Web Application Authentication Using Visual Cryptography and Cued Clicked Point Recall-based Graphical Password

Alphanumerical usernames and passwords are the most used computer authentication technique. This approach has been found to have a number of disadvantages. Users, for example, frequently choose passwords that are simple to guess. On the other side, if a password is difficult to guess, it is also difficult to remember. Graphical passwords have been proposed in the literature as a potential alternative to alphanumerical passwords, based on the fact that people remember pictures better than text. Existing graphical passwords, on the other hand, are vulnerable to a shoulder surfing assault. To address this shoulder surfing vulnerability, this study proposes an authentication system for web-applications based on visual cryptography and cued click point recall-based graphical password. The efficiency of the proposed system was validated using unit, system and usability testing measures. The results of the system and unit testing showed that the proposed system accomplished its objectives and requirements. The results of the usability test showed that the proposed system is easy to use, friendly and highly secured.

A Review on Shoulder Surfing Attack in Authentication Technique using Cued Click Point (CCP)

Security important now a days. Users of primary preference to security. Authentication process provide security to the user. Authentication process of identifying the person’s identity or conforming the identity of person. There are various authentication method, but most commonly used method is textual password. Combination of alphabet and number create a secure password. But some drawbacks i.e. it easily guess by also called attacker. If it make complex then it hard to memorize. Also various attacks brute force attack, dictionary attack, social engineering attack, evesdropping, etc. of textual password graphical password system introduced. Graphical system is easy to memorize but it undergo shoulder surfing attack which big problem. any entity or person can observe users password directly or by using any device. So as an alternative Graphical Passwords are introduced to resist the Shoulder surfing attack. the above mentioned attacks the new scheme highlights cued click point (CCP), Using graphical password as input and grid lines for image point verification. This paper survey shoulder surfing attacks in graphical password approach.

Secure graphical password based on cued click points using fuzzy logic

AbstractNowadays authentication technology is the most important means to ensure security. Alphanumeric username and password procedure is the most common authentication method. Users typically choose memorable passwords that are easy for attackers to guess, and assigned passwords by the system are difficult for users to remember. We present a graphical password based on cued recall in which is secured from shoulder surfing attack. Also, we propose an image encryption technique using a 2D cat map and edge detection technique in which it uses fuzzy logic inference to detect the edge of images. Then the user password is encrypted before storing it in the database using this method. Experiments illustrate that the proposed method has good performance in usability and security.

Dynamic Cryptographic Algorithm to Provide Password Authentication using Cued Click Points

Nowadays, password based authentication is one the most common way of authentication for most of the user logins. However, the advancement in technology also posing many threats for the password authentication systems. Everybody will be keen to know others password. But there exists a very few who is very keen to devise a new authentication. In this paper, we have proposed a more advanced password authentication method yet a simple one which gives a tough competition for the attacker to break the password. For this, we are providing a special key-display interface to assist the modified cued click point’s technique which helps in the more sophisticated dynamic authentication method. This interface helps to break the single password into a combination of 4 passwords and also adds three more password strings to the current password which is entered. It also uses a special one way encryption algorithm called Nesting 93 which is developed explicitly for this system. It helps to prevent almost any kind of attacks<strong></strong>.

USER AUTHENTICATION THROUGH CUED CLICK POINTS BASED GRAPHICAL PASSWORD

User authentication is a fundamental component in most computer security context. In recent years, computer and network security has been formulated as a technical problem. A key area in security research is authentication which is the determination of whether a user should be allowed access to a given system or resource. In this respect, Authentication is a process by which a system verifies the identity of a user. Authentication may also be generalized by saying that “to authenticate” means “to authorize”. Users tend to pick passwords that can be easily guessed, on the other hand, if a password is hard to guess, then it is often hard to remember. To address this problem some researchers have developed authentication methods that use pictures as passwords, known as graphical passwords.Graphical passwords are a proposed alternative to text passwords that have been shown to have good usability and security properties that use images for login, and leverage the picture superiority effect for good usability and memorability. Categories of graphical passwords have been distinguished on the basis of different kinds of memory retrieval (recall, cued-recall, and recognition). Though there are several kinds of graphical password, But We have choose to implement the cued click based due to efficient and more secured, Cued click points is a click-based graphical password scheme, Users click on one point per image for a sequence of images. The next image is based on the previous clickpoint. Performance was very good in terms of speed, accuracy, and number of errors. Graphical passwords may offer better security than text-based passwords because many people, in an attempt to memorize text-based passwords, use plain words rather than the recommended jumble of characters.

Graphical Password based Authentication System with Sound Sequence

There have been many graphical password schemes proposed as alternatives to text passwords. Research and experience show that alpha-numeric passwords are inefficient with both usability and security issues which limit their application in today’s life. Studies have showed that human brain is much better at recognizing and memorizing images than text. Graphical based passwords are intended to make use of this human characteristic with a goal to reduce the memory burden on users, along with a password space which is offered by images, more secure passwords can be produced and users will be spared of unsafe practices in order to cope. This paper focuses on a new click-based graphical password scheme which is known as Cued Click Points (CCP). It can be viewed as a combination of PassPoints, Passfaces and Story. A password comprises of one click-point per image from a sequence of images. The next image displayed is based on the previous click-point so that the users receive immediate feedback as to whether they are on the correct path when logging in. CCP offers better usability, efficiency and security. Users could quickly create and re-enter their passwords. Another feature of CCP is the immediate feedback telling the correct user whether their latest click-point was correctly entered.

Cued-Click Point Graphical Password Using Circular Tolerance to Increase Password Space and Persuasive Features

Graphical password can be used as an alternative to text based (alphanumeric) password in which users click on images to set their passwords. Text based password uses username and password. So recalling of password is necessary which may be a difficult one. Images are generally easier to be remembered than text and in Graphical password; user can set images as their password. Therefore graphical password has been proposed by many researchers as an alternative to text based password Graphical passwords can be applied to workstation, web log-in applications, ATM machines, mobile devices etc. This paper presents implementation of Cued click point (CCP) graphical password which uses circular tolerance. Then it is found that CCP with circular tolerance is better as compared to CCP with rectangular tolerance.

Securing Text & Image Password Using the Combinations of Persuasive Cued Click Points with Improved Advanced Encryption Standard

Security is the main aspect for any application. The main aim is to protect the system from the illegitimate users. The online library system is considered for study and two way authentication techniques are applied on it. Two way authentication techniques are used to protect the data by using both the text and graphical passwords. Graphical password scheme is used named as persuasive cued click points (PCCP). On both the text as well as graphical password, Improved Advanced Encryption Standard (IAES) algorithm is applied to provide better security. It means system provides two step authentications with the encryption technique. In IAES, one random generated key called as SALT is added with AES key. By adding the Salt key with AES the number of combinations of attack will increase. Even if the database is compromised then also attacker cannot gain the actual text password and click points of the graphical password. Three (3) click points are provided for the user, after clicking on first area the image get expanded for the next click and so on till the third click points. Dictionary attack is removed totally.

Image Based Authentication for Folder Security using Persuasive Cued Click-Points and SHA

In this paper Image Based Authentication application is applied on folder's (folders that are confidential to user) ,since the studies till date have shown that textual passwords are more prone that they are well hacked by hackers through easily available software's or programming different code to hack the password. The textual passwords use languages that can be identified using the grammar that they use, therefore our project focuses on Graphical passwords , because as such it has been observed that human brains is better at re-collecting and recognizing images than text, the images are well captured and stored rather than text. There have been phases in creating a strong graphical password scheme from 1999, with the promise that the graphical passwords would provide improved password memorability and usability. The technique that we use here is PCCP (PERSUASIVE CUED CLICK POINTS), this is a combination of recall and recognition based techniques with the implementation of SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm). Here PCCP is used for user to have better strong passwords by expanding password space and SHA1 is used to ensure security to folder.
