A Secured Session Password Protection System Using 3DPA Methodology

Abstract

In this paper, we are proposed a new methodology for password protection named 3DPA. Mostly textual passwords are used to secure data or user accounts. However these can be cracked by the application of various brute-force attacks as the maximum password length is fixed and there are a finite number of possibilities which exist. Also textual passwords are vulnerable to eavesdropping, dictionary attacks, social engineering and shoulder surfing. The proposed system generates session passwords using a 3 dimension pairing authentication technique which are resistant to shoulder surfing. The system uses cryptography to preserve confidentiality goal.
