A Novel Approach For Generation of OTP'S Using Image's

摘要

Security is a major concern in the web applications often requires certain degree of technical sophistication. Today the naive users have been increasingly targeted by miscreants who are aiming to make an easy profit by means of illegal transactions. An adversary can choose from a multitude of methods to obtain the credentials by breaking the password of a system. Some well known attacks are eavesdropping, phishing attack, spoofing, man in the middle attack, Denial-of-service and virus attacks. The traditional forms of authentication such as signatures, Identity cards, Pin etc are not properly providing security for the above mentioned attacks. To overcome these problems, numerous solutions have been arising by incorporating an additional factor in the authentication process and solidifying authentication for real-time problems. In this connection, we are proposing an approach Image Based Password System (IBPS) which generates an OTP based on the image selected by the user. In this work, random numbers are generated from extracted features of image, used as OTP which forms a strong factor for authentication.
