Abstract:
The information and computer security is mainly dependent on the use of
conventional textual passwords nowadays. But due to the difficulty of remembering random and long
passwords, users create simple and short passwords which do not provide enough security and are
vulnerable to attacks. Graphical passwords have been designed to make passwords more secure,
memorable, easier to create and usable. The current graphical password based techniques do not
provide security, memorization and usability features all at the same time. In this paper, we propose
and evaluate a hybrid technique of security, based on face recognition and graphical password. The
technique has been evaluated by comparing it with the existing techniques and it has also been
evaluated by a survey. The results indicated that the proposed system is more secure, usable, efficient
and reliable than the existing techniques.
