摘要:Textual passwords are the most common method used for authentication. But textual passwords are vulnerable to eves dropping, dictionary attacks, social engineering and shoulder surfing. Graphical passwords are introduced as alternative techniques to textual passwords. Most of the graphical schemes are vulnerable to shoulder surfing. To consider this problem, text can be combined with colors to generate session passwords for security purpose. Session passwords can be used only once and every time a new password is generated. In this paper, two techniques are proposed to generate session passwords using text and colors which are protect data from dictionary attack, shouldering etc. These methods are suitable for Personal Digital Assistants
