Image based Authentication
Image based Authentication
Description
of the Project
Image
based authentication provide more security when validating a user
authentication in real time systems. The main design goal of the system is
provide more security through images.
For a login page a grid of images are shown from which the user selects
his password. The images are provided with a random number / some text under it
which is used to enter in the password field. The images and the numbers
associated with that randomly changes to provide more security. The main
objective of this project is, it provides more security and usability. Images
are easy to remember because visualization has great effect on human mind. This
application can be used as authentication for any website or login page. This
can be simulated in desktops, mobiles, atm’s
etc.
Existing
System
Generally
to provide authentication we use passwords and they will be a combination of
alphanumeric characters. Users store this password in their phones or note it
down which is not secure. Also this password system can easily be hacked and
user’s private information can be known.
Proposed
System:
In the proposed system
the authentication of users is done using images which provides the additional
security than the usual text authentication. Images give great impact on the
human brain to recognize.
Modules:
Image Insertion: In this module we place all the images in the grid and designing of the user interface will come under this module. We use rich controls in order to design an interface through which user can interact through our application easily.
Random Number Generation:
In this module we generate random numbers and assign them to the images present in the grid. For this we need to use random class in order to generate random numbers.
Verifying the password:
In this module we create the database with user name and password and verify the given password is valid to that user or not for this we need to match the passwords & pixel conversion and matching.
