Security and Usability Analysis of Password Agent

چکیده
Password plays an important role in online authentication. But it suffer from two interactable problems ,one is password cracking and second is password theft. Password agent mechanism contains strong hashing scheme which provides stronger protection against password theft and password cracking. Password Agent generates strong passwords by enhancing the hash function with a large random salt. This paper describes comparative security and usability analysis of Password Agent with different hashing mechanism.

The massive and automated access to Web resources through robots has made it essential for Web service providers to make some conclusion about whether the "user" is a human or a robot. A Human Interaction Proof (HIP) like Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) offers a way to make such a distinction. CAPTCHA is a reverse Turing test used by Web serv...
متن کاملA survey on the use of graphical passwords in security
Beginning around 1996, numerous graphical password schemes have been proposed, motivated by improving password usability and security, two key factors in password scheme evaluation. In this paper, we focus on the security aspects of existing graphical password schemes, which not only gives a simple introduction of attack methods but also intends to provide an in-depth analysis with specific sch...

Two-factor authentication (2FA) schemes aim at strengthening the security of login-password–based authentication by deploying secondary authentication tokens. In this context, mobile 2FA schemes require no additional hardware (such as a smartcard) to store and handle the secondary authentication token, and hence are considered as a reasonable tradeoff between security, usability, and cost. They...
