SHOULDER SURFING ATTACK

Abstract

Authentication supported passwords is employed mostly in applications for laptop security and privacy.
However, human actions like selecting unhealthy passwords associate degreed inputting passwords in an insecure
approach area unit considered the weakest link within the authentication chain. Instead of discretionary alphabetical
strings, users tend to decide on passwords either short or substantive for straightforward acquisition. With net
applications and mobile apps stilt up, folks will access these applications anytime and anyplace with numerous
devices. This evolution brings nice convenience however additionally will increase the chance of exposing passwords
to shoulder aquatics attacks. Attackers will observe directly or use external recording devices to gather user’s
credentials. to beat this downside, we have a tendency to planned a completely unique authentication system
PassMatrix, supported graphical passwords to resist shoulder aquatics attacks. With a one-time valid login indicator
and circulatory horizontal and vertical bars covering the whole scope of pass-images, PassMatrix offers no hint for
attackers to work out or slender down the secret even they conduct multiple camera-based attacks. We have a
tendency to additionally enforce a PassMatrix example on golem and administered real user experiments to judge its
memorability and usefulness. From the experimental result, the planned system achieves higher resistance to shoulder
aquatics attacks whereas maintaining usability.
