Shoulder Surfing and Keylogger Resistance using Two Step Graphical Password Scheme

Dhanashree R. Chaudhari | Yogesh B. Gurav ^[2]

Abstract: In todays world, we use most of the system where we require authentication process for security of sensitive information. Authentication process requires password which could be text password or graphical password. The main problem with text password is shoulder surfing. The shoulder surfing is a process carried out by a person where he can note clients password by observing his or her shoulder movement. The another problem with text password is it can be captured by camera recording. Hence to overcome the problem of shoulder surfing graphical password system is invented. It allows user to enter the password in a graphical instead by direct entering of text password. Hence in this paper we proposed an improved version of shoulder surfing resistant system by using region number. The second step is to enter the personal identification numbers (PINs) which is secure and usable practically which also recover the problem shoulder surfing attack. Here we are using key logger resistance also to avaoid the hacking.
