Image Based Authentication for E-Mail System

Secure environments protect the resources against unauthorized access by enforcing access control mechanisms. Therefore, when increasing security is an issue, text based passwords are not enough to counter such problems. Security has always been an issue since Internet and Web Development came into existence, numeric based passwords is not enough to counter such problems, which is also an out dated approach now. Therefore, this demands the need for something more secure along with being more userfriendly. Therefore, we have tried to increase the security by involving an image based authentication approach, involving text based password , Image Based Authentication and automated generated one-time password (received through an automated process on mobile of the authentic user). And an assiduous effort has been done for preventing Shoulder attack, Tempest attack, and Brute-force attack at client side , through the use of unique image in the Image Based Authentication (IBA) System for e-mail communication.
