The 3D password
is a multi factor authentication scheme that combines the various authentication
schemes into a single 3D virtual environment. The virtual environment can
contain any existing authentication scheme or even any upcoming authentication
scheme or even any upcoming authentication schemes by adding it as a response
to actions performed on an object. Therefore the resulting password space
becomes very large compared to any existing authentication schemes. The design
of the 3D virtual environment the selection of objects inside the environment
and the object's type reflect the resulted password space. It is the task of
the system administrator to design the environment and to select the appropriate
object that reflects the protected system requirements. Designing a simple and
easy to use 3D virtual environment is a factor that leads to a higher user acceptability
of a 3D password system. The choice of what authentication scheme will be part
of user's 3D password reflects the user's preferences and requirements.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed
system is a multi factor authentication scheme that combines the benefits of
various authentication schemes. Users have the freedom to select whether the 3D
password will be solely recall, biometrics, recognition, or token based, or a
combination of two schemes or more. This freedom of selection is necessary
because users are different and they have different requirements. Therefore, to
ensure high user acceptability, the user’s freedom of selection is important. The
following requirements are satisfied in the proposed scheme
1. The new
scheme provide secrets that are easy to remember and very difficult for
intruders to guess.
2. The new
scheme provides secrets that are not easy to write down on paper. Moreover, the
scheme secrets should be difficult to share with others.
3. The new scheme provides secrets that can be
easily revoked or changed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM
The proposed system is a multi factor authentication scheme. It can combine all existing authentication schemes into a single 3D virtual environment .This 3D virtual environment contains several objects or items with which the user can interact. The user is presented with this 3D virtual environment where the user navigates and interacts with various objects. The sequence of actions and interactions toward the objects inside the 3D environment constructs the user’s 3D password. The 3D password can combine most existing authentication schemes such as textual passwords, graphical passwords, and various types of biometrics into a 3D virtual environment. The choice of what authentication schemes will be part of the user's 3D password reflects the user's preferences and requirements. A user who prefers to remember and recall a password might choose textual and graphical password as part of their 3D password. On the other hand users who have more difficulty with memory or recall might prefer to choose smart cards or biometrics as part of their 3D password. Moreover user who prefers to keep any kind of biometric data private might not interact with object that requires biometric information. Therefore it is the user's choice and decision to construct the desired and preferred 3D password.
