Paper Abstract:
|
A variety of visual passwords approaches were proposed that aim to replace conventional text passwords. The main
advantage of both systems is that unlike biometrics and tokens they do not require special hardware. However they still
fail to provide a satisfying solution to the usability problems of todays authentication systems. Both text and visual
passwords have limitations. We show how those limitations can be minimized by combining the two systems together to
provide an integrated login mechanism suitable for web applications. The design is user friendly and makes use of the
human factor to enhance security and usability. Due to the hybrid nature of our approach, it includes an anti-phishing
technique. |
