Password authentication system is a very important factor for every system which needs to be secure. Every password is easy to crack and people are looking for a strong password to their systems. Here we use a password authentication system that is designed for high security and could be easily put into old system. In our frame work we are using cryptographic representation for converting location point into coordinates. Our primary aim is to prevent hacking through all kinds of brute force algorithms. It is concerned with including client’s geographical location as an important authentication factor to enhance security. Techniques to integrate location as an authentication factor as well as techniques to generate location based cryptographic keys are reviewed and discussed .Most importantly our system combine graphical user authentication and location coordinates .Existing system was vulnerable to dictionary attack algorithm and salt data algorithm ,so efforts are been taken to generate non repeatable graphical user interface system using coordinates .

Brute Force Attack

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.

Authentication System

User authentication is an indispensable part of a secure system. The traditional authentication methods have been proved to be vulnerable to different types of security attacks. Artificial intelligence is being applied to crack textual passwords and even CAPTCHAs are being dismantled within few attempts. The use of graphical password as an alternate to the textual passwords for user authentication can be an efficient strategy. However, they have been proved to be susceptible to shoulder surfing like attacks. Advanced authentication systems such as biometrics are secure but require additional infrastructure for efficient implementation. This paper proposes a novel pattern-based multi-factor authentication scheme that uses a combination of text and images resulting for identifying the legitimate users. The proposed system has been mathematically analyzed and has been found to provide much larger password space as compared to simple text based passwords. This renders the proposed system secure against brute force and other dictionary based attacks. Moreover, the use of text along with the images also mitigates the risk of shoulder surfing.

Password authentication is an essential and widespread form of user authentication on the Internet with no other authentication system matching its dominance. When a password on one website is breached, if reused, the stolen password can be used to gain access to multiple other authenticated websites. Even amongst technically educated users, the security issues surrounding password reuse are not well understood and restrictive password composition rules have been unsuccessful in reducing password reuse. In response, the US NIST have published standards outlining that, when setting passwords, authentication systems should validate that user passwords have not already been compromised or breached. We propose a mechanism to allows for clients to anonymously validate whether or not a password has been identified in a compromised database, without needing to download the entire database or send their password to a third-party service. A mechanism is proposed whereby password hash data is generalized such that it holds the k-anonymity property. An implementation is constructed to identify to what extent the data should be generalized for it to hold k-anonymity and additionally to group password hashes by their generalized anonymous value. The implementation is run on a database of over 320 million leaked passwords and the results of the anonymization process are considered.

Grid recognition authentication is a method of securing user logins. This project is based on user authentication in Smartphone using grid, images, and pattern. It is an innovation from the existing security lock that used in the Smartphone. A smartphone usually consists the authentication techniques such as draw a pattern or inserting a password. But nowadays, those techniques are not completely secure because it is very easy to break through different type of attack like brute force, dictionary attack or key logger. In this project, a tool based Grid Based Method will be developed which is important to increase the security of the smartphone that using an iOS platform. By using this tool, the codes are difficult to break because the grids are hidden behind the image. Users can identify the cells that were selected in a grid during the registration stage.

Biometric Information

The prevalence of computers and the development of the Internet made us able to easily access information. As people are concerned about user information security, the interest of the user authentication method is growing. The most common computer authentication method is the use of alphanumerical usernames and passwords. The password authentication systems currently used are easy, but only if you know the password, as the user authentication is vulnerable. User authentication using fingerprints, only the user with the information that is specific to the authentication security is strong. But there are disadvantage such as the user cannot change the authentication key. In this study, we proposed authentication methodology that combines numeric-based password and biometric-based fingerprint authentication system. Use the information in the user's fingerprint, authentication keys to obtain security. Also, using numeric-based password can to easily change the password; the authentication keys were designed to provide flexibility.

Text-based passwords are widely used for the authentication of digital assets. Typically, password security and usability is a trade-off, i.e. easy-to-remember passwords have higher usability that makes them vulnerable to brute-force and dictionary attacks. Complex passwords have stronger security but poor usability. In order to strengthen the security in conjunction with the improved usability, we hereby propose a novel graphical authentication system. This system is a picture-based password scheme which comprises of the method of image splicing. Authentication data were collected from 33 different users. The usability of the method was evaluated via a comparison between the number of correct and incorrect authentication attempts and time taken. Additionally, a comparison was made between our proposed method and a complex text-based password authentication method using the authentication success rate. Authentication using image splicing proved to be resilient to brute-force attacks since the processing of images consumes a voluminous password space. The evaluation of the usability revealed that graphical passwords were easy-to-remember, resulting in a higher number of correct attempts. The proposed method produced 50% higher success rate compared to the text-based method. Findings motivate the use of the proposed method for securing digital assets.

User authentication techniques such as the setting of passwords are gradually gaining importance as a means of managing important information stored in smartphones. Existing text–based password authentication schemes have the advantages of being quick and easy to use. However, they are problematic in that passwords are easily exposed to shoulder-surfing attack. In addition, a graphical password authentication scheme has the limitation of being difficult to apply to mobile device environments, in which a lot of information must be remembered and small-sized screens are provided. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new hybrid password authentication scheme using a pocket billiard and a virtual joystick, which is secure against shoulder-surfing, brute force attack, and smudge attack and has excellent usability.
