Abstract

The technique of user authentication remains a key issue over the decades. The main motive behind proposal of graphical password is the human inclination to remember images better than text. In this paper, we have proposed a graphical user authentication scheme that is a hybrid technique, combination of recognition-based scheme and dynamic graphics consisting of objects. The objectives of the proposed technique are to resist shoulder surfing attacks, guessing attacks, etc., without compromising the usability. User study shows that the proposed technique is robust, secure, also offers high usability, and memorability. The results demonstrated that the scheme do not require any additional hardware and can be easily implemented in existing set-up, hence suited for authentication in public places such as ATMs, cyber cafes, mobile phones, etc.
