Secure Authentication Using Session Based Password with Virtual Keyboard

Abstract-Early people use textual passwords as a security but these passwords get affected to the various attacks like dictionary attack, shoulder surfing, etc. After the period, graphical passwords are coming to the existence but the graphical passwords have some own disadvantages such as they require more time to authenticate. Hence, This paper has taken a review of session password technique in which the password is used only once for each and when session will end the password is not useful. The proposed session password scheme uses Text session password. The session password scheme uses pair-based authentication scheme. Textual passwords generally used for login authentication. Graphical password is introduced exactly opposite technique to textual passwords. As most users are well known about textual passwords than pure graphical passwords. Shoulder-surfing is an attack where an attacker can capture a password by direct show or by listening the authentication session password. Session password can use only once because every time a new password will generate. Session Password supports Pair based scheme which is secure and more efficient. In this paper, it is proposed an improved text-based shoulder surfing resistant scheme by using pair based scheme is used for alphabet, digit , symbols where session password will form at every session or transaction using virtual shuffling keyboard. The user can easily and efficiently login to the system. Proposed system analyzes the security and usability of the proposed scheme, and shows the support of the scheme to shoulder surfing attack.
