Authentication
Authentication is a process of validatingwho are you to whom you claimed to be
Human authentication techniques are as
follows:1. Knowledge Base (What you know)
2. Token Based(what you have)
3. Biometrics(what you are)
4. Recognition Based(What you recognise)

Common Authentication
Techniques used in computerworld1. Textual Passwords(Recall Based)-:Recall
what you have created before.
2. Graphical Passwords:
(Recall Based+Recognition Based)
Biometric schemes
(fingerprints,voice recognition etc)

Drawbacks
Textual Password: Textual Passwords should be easy to
remember at the same time hard to guess
Full password space for 8 characters
consisting of both numbers and characters is2 X 10
From an research 25% of the passwords outof 15,000 users can guessed correctly by
using brute force dictionary

Drawbacks
Graphical Password Graphical passwords can be easily
recorded as these schemes take a longtime.
One main drawback of applying biometricis its intrusiveness upon a users personnelcharacteristics.
They require special scanning device to
authenticate the user which is notacceptable for remote and internet users.

3D PASSWORD SCHEME
The 3D Password scheme is a newauthentication scheme that combine
RECOGNITION
+ RECALL
+TOKENS
+BIOMETRIC
In one authentication system

The 3D password presents a virtualenvironment containing various virtual
objects.
The user walks through the environment
and interacts with the objects
The 3d Password is simply thecombination and sequence of user
interactions that occur in the 3Denvironment

3D Password selection
Virtual objects can be any object weencounter in real life:
A computer on which the user can type
A fingerprint reader that requires users fingerprint
A paper or white board on which user can typeA Automated teller(ATM) machine that requires a token
A light that can be switched on/off
A television or radio
A car that can be driven
A graphical password scheme

For EXAMPLE:
Let us assume the user enters a virtual
office then performs the following action: (10,24,91) Action=Open office door
(10,24,91) Action=Close office door
(4,34,18) Action=Tpeine,C
(4,34,18) Action=Typing,O
(4,34,18)Action=Typing,N
(10,24,80)Action=Pick up the pen
(1,18,80)Action=Draw point=(330,130)

3D Passwords Differentiators
Flexibility:3D Passwords allows Multifactorauthentication biometric , textual passwordscan be embedded in 3D password technology.
Strength: This scenario provides almostunlimited passwords possibility.
Ease to Memorize: can be remembered in theform of short story.
Respect of Privacy: Organizers can selectauthentication schemes that respect usersprivacy.

Attacks and Countermeasures
Brute Force Attack: The attack is very difficultbecause
1. Time required to login may vary form 20s to 2 mintherefore it is very time consuming.
2. Cost of Attack: A 3D Virtual environment may containbiometric object ,the attacker has to forge allbiometric information.
Well Studied Attack: Attacker tries to getthe most probable distribution of 3D Password.This is difficult because attacker has to performcustomized attack fo different virtual
environment .
