An Enhanced Security System for Web Authentication
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Web authentication has low security in these days. Todays, For Authentication purpose, Textual passwords are commonly used; however, users do not follow their requirements. Users tend to choose meaningful words from dictionaries, which make textual passwords easy tobreak and vulnerable to dictionary or brute force attacks. Also, Textual passwords can be identified by 3rd party software’s. Many available graphicalpasswords have a password space that is less than or equal to the textual passwordspace. Smart cards or tokens can be stolen.There are so many biometric authentications have been proposed; however, users tend to resistusing biometrics because of their intrusiveness and the effect on their privacy. Moreover,biometrics cannot be evoked.In this paper, we present and evaluate our contribution,i.e., the OTP and 3-D password. A one-time password (OTP) is a password that isvalid for only one login session or transaction. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomingsthat are associated with traditional (static) passwords. The most important shortcoming that is addressed by OTPs is that, in contrast to static passwords, they are not vulnerable to replay attacks. It means that a potential intruder who manages to record an OTPthat was already used to log into a service or to conduct a transaction will not be able toabuse it, since it will be no longer valid. The 3-D password is a multifactor authenticationscheme. To be authenticated, we present a 3-D virtual environment where the usernavigates and interacts with various objects. The sequence of actions and interactionstoward the objects inside the 3-D environment constructs the user’s 3-D password.
