摘要:The conventional text-based password authentication scheme faces some drawbacks with usability and security issues that bring troubles to users. Graphical password schemes act as a possible alternative to text-based schemes which are proposed mainly by the fact that humans can remember pictures better than text. Beside that, the possible password space of a graphical password scheme may exceed that of text based schemes and thus presumably offer better resistance to brute force search and dictionary attacks. However, graphical password is vulnerable to peeping attack. This paper proposes a new graphical password authentication scheme resistant to peeping attack. An analysis of security and usability aspects of the proposed scheme is presented.
