Cloud based Implicit Password Authentication System
Main Article Content
Abstract
There is increasing coverage in the literature emphasizing threats to online financial systems. Authentication is a process by which a
system proves the identity of a individuals. Authentication may also be generalized by saying that “to authenticate†means “to authorizeâ€.
Authentication is the first line of security against compromising confidentiality and integrity. Though traditional login/password based schemes
are easy to implement, they have been subjected to several attacks. As an alternative, token and biometric based authentication systems were
introduced. However, they have not developed substantially to justify the investment. Thus, a variation to the login/password scheme, i.e.
Graphical scheme was introduced.In this proposed system we have used a new technique for authentication. It is a variation to the
login/password scheme using graphical password used in an implicit manner. We have introduced a framework of our proposed Implicit
Password Authentication System (IPAS), which is immune to the common attacks suffered by other authentication schemes. Nowadays with the
use of mobile phones, users can access any information including banking and corporate database. In this proposed work, we specifically target
the mobile banking domain and propose a new and intelligent authentication scheme. However, our proposal can also be used in other domains
where confidentiality and integrity are the major security requirements.
Keywords: Graphical password System, Security, Usability, Reliability, Authentication, mobile banking.
