Abstract :

Authentication is any protocol or process that permits one entity to establish the identity of another entity. Authentication is a process of validating who are you to whom you claimed to be or a process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. Current authentication systems suffer from many weaknesses. Textual passwords are commonly used. Users tend to choose common words from dictionaries and day to day life, which make textual passwords easy to crack and exposed to dictionary or basic force attacks. Smart cards or tokens can be stolen. Many biometric authentications have been proposed but some people hate the fact to carry around their cards, some refuse to undergo strong IR exposure to their retinas. We propose and evaluate our contribution which is a new scheme of authentication. We suggest a hyid user authentication approach combining text passwords, 3-D passwords, and color code a three-step process, to provide increased security with fewer rounds than such 3-D passwords alone. A variation of this three-step authentication method, which we have implemented and deployed, is new security implementation. This scheme is based on a virtual three-dimensional environment. The 3-D password is a multifactor authentication scheme. Mainly the 3-D passwords are the combination of physical and biometric authentication. The sequence of actions and interfaces toward the objects inside the 3-D environment constructs the user’s 3-D password. The 3-D password can combine most existing authentication schemes such as textual passwords, graphical passwords, and various types of biometrics into a 3-D virtual environment. The design of the 3-D virtual environment and the type of objects selected conclude the 3-D password key space. This 3-D virtual environment contains several objects or items with which the user can interact. The type of interaction varies from one item to another. The 3-D password is constructed by observing the actions and interactions of the user and by observing the sequences of such actions. 3D passwords are flexible and they provide unlimited passwords possibility. The 3D password’s main application is the protection of critical resources and systems.3D passwords have many application areas such as Critical Servers, Nuclear and military Facilities, Airplanes and Jet Fighters, ATMs, Desktop and Laptop Logins, Web Authentication etc. color code provides high level of security. Color codes are difficult to hack. We have also provided security analysis against various attacks such as Brute Force Attack, Well-Studied Attack, Shoulder Surfing Attack, Timing attack etc.
