| Abstract | Graphical passwords are most widely used as a mechanism for authentication in today's mobile computing environment. This methodology was introduced to enhance security element and overcome the vulnerabilities of textual passwords, pins, or other trivial password methodologies which were difficult to remember and prone to external attacks. There are many graphical password schemes that are proposed over time, however, most of them suffer from shoulder surfing and could be easily guessed which is quite a big problem. The proposed technique in this paper allows the user to keep the ease-to-use property of the pattern lock while minimizing the risk of shoulder surfing and password guessing. The proposed technique allows the user to divide a picture into multiple chunks and while unlocking, selecting the previously defined chunks results successfully in unlocking the device. This technique can effectively resist the shoulder surfing and smudge attacks, also it is resilient to password guessing or dictionary attacks. The proposed methodology can significantly improve the security of the graphical password system with no cost increase in terms of unlocking time. |
