Enhanced Authentication Schemes for Intrusion Prevention using Native Language Passwords
Textual password authentication schemes are
vulnerable to attacks like eves dropping, shoulder
surfing and hidden cameras. An authentication scheme
which integrates graphics and text is resistant to these
attacks. Native language passwords are more secure
than standard language passwords. Users can remember
native language passwords better than any other
language, by nature. A shape based textual password
authentication scheme using native language of the user
is discussed and enhancements are proposed to make the
authentication scheme more secure.
