Abstract - Shoulder-Surfing is a recognized hazard where
an attacker can capture a password by means of direct
observation or by way of recording the authentication. There
were some graphical schemes resistant to SSAs; however they
have got substantial usabilitydrawbacks, generallyinthetime
and effort to log in. In this paper, we suggest and compare a
brand new shoulder-browsing resistant scheme which has a
proper usability for PDAs.The new scheme requires users to
attract throughout their password pix orderly inpreferenceto
click directly on them. Authentication based on passwords is
used in large part of programs for laptop securityandprivacy.
However, human efforts consisting of choosing badpasswords
and inputting passwords in an insecure manner are regarded
as the weakest link in authentication chain. While choosing
alphanumeric strings, customerstendtoselectpasswordsboth
quick and significant for easy memorization. This evolution
brings superb comfort however also increasestheopportunity
of disclosing passwords to SSAs. Attackers can take a look
directly or use outside recording gadgets to acquire users
credentials. To conquer this hassle, we proposed a novel
authentication device Pass Matrix, based totally on graphical
passwords to resist SSAs assaults. With a one-time login
indicator the pass sequence generated each time is different
which offers no trace for attackerstodetermine thepassword.
We additionally applied a Pass Matrix prototype on Android
and carried out actual user experiments. From the
experimental end result, the proposed system achieves higher
resistance to Shoulder browsing attacks even as retaining
usability.

Shoulder Surfing Attacks (SSAs) and Authentication
1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays with the rapid and unstoppable growth in the
development field of technology has created the scope of
becoming the use to of it. Where the authentication plays a
vital role for ensuring the users identity. And for ensuring
the identity username and password must be verified. But
the most importantly the attention is given to the password
which must be hide from the world to protect ones
repository.
Till now we used the textual passwords for the
authentication purpose which may be comprised of lower
case letters, upper case letters or the alphanumeric
combinationsofoneanother.Somehowthetextual password
is considered strong enough for resisting against the brute
force approach.
Sometimes the long and complicated textual passwords
become hard to memorize and collect. However by selecting
the simple textual passwords may increasesitsvulnerability
for attacks or intrusions. One of the most commonly and
easily happened attack is the Shoulder surfing attacks
(SSAs).
SSAs are the attacks which can be happened at any point of
time just by looking over someone’s shoulder while entering
the passwords. It may happen by direct observing or by
using video capturing technique to get passwords, PINs or
other sensitive personal information. In the whole
authentication process the human action such as choosing
the bad and weak password for a new account and putting
the passwords in an insecure way for later logins is
considered as the weakest link in the authentication chain.
To overcome all these drawbacks an alternative is available
for setting the password as Graphical images in a place of
textual passwords. Graphical passwords have the tendency
to bridge the gap of inputting the password and getting
attacked. As memorizing the images, for a long time with
Long Term Memory (LTM) is easier then verbal
representation. They also create a scope of vulnerable to
SSAs but the extent of getting attacked is reduced by various
means.
In this paper we present a novel and secure Graphical
Authentication System which providesanadvancedsecurity
to the passwords with combination of Pass images selected

from the collection of images or from our local data storage.
Security is provided by on click method on pass images
which generates the pass value for the corresponding click
and results in generation of pass sequence. Every time the
pass sequence is generated by the Login Indicator in the
background for single login session which acts as OTP i.e.
one time password which is sent to the user’s mail id
.Prevention from the SSAs is provided bygeneratingthePass
sequence for every login sessionandwhichgetsuselessafter
termination of that session.
2. Related Work
Both are not immune as expected to SSAs and other brute
force attacks More advancement in the security is provided
with the Graphical images in the way of generating the pass
sequence every time. So various aspects in graphical
passwords are as follows:
2.1: Pass Value System
The images selected from the collection of images are
divided into pass squares having associated pass value for
each pass square. On clicking, the corresponding pass value
or pixel value is traced and recorded. For every image the
pass values are generated on clicking on each image all the
time and the sequence formed by the pass values is only
resides till termination of that session.
2.2: Pass Matrix Algorithm
The algorithm used is Pass Matrix which divides each pass
image into a grid of matrix of 7 X 11 form having the
horizontal and vertical bar values. Those values are
randomly generated by the login indicator in each login
session which corresponds to different different passvalues
for the click.

check in an account practice or start to login for experiment.
(b) Users can pick from a listing of 24 pictures as their Pass
images. (c) From the 7X11 squares in each photo, the users
pick one as the pass square on clicking
2.3: OTP generation/Pass Sequence
Here the OTP which is nothing but the sequence generated
by the login indicator in bag ground which is sent to the
user’s mail ID.After validating and verificationthatsequence
the user are allowed to authenticate.
3. Proposed System
The system which we are proposing is more prone to SSAs
attacks and increases the level of security.Gaphical images
are provided with advancements on the basis of ON CLICK
method instead of following the patterns on the images
which are used earlier. The whole system works in two
phases
1. Registration phase: creating a username and password
using the images for the very first time
2. Authentication Phase: authorized users then uses the One
time randomly generated sequence to login

3.1. System Architecture
4. Motivation
In 2006, Wiedenbeck et al. proposed Pass Points in which
the user picks up several points (3 to 5) in an image during
the password creation phase andre-enters eachofthese pre-
selected click-points in a correct order within its tolerant
square during the login phase. Comparingto traditional PIN
and textual passwords, the Pass-Pointsschemesubstantially
increases the password space and enhances password
memorizability.Unfortunately,thisgraphical au-thentication
scheme is vulnerable to shoulder surfing attacks. Hence,
based on the Pass Points, we add the idea of using one-time
session passwords and distracters to develop our Pass
Matrix authentication system that is resistant to shoulder
surfing attacks.

our paper in some way.
6. Conclusion
With the growing fashion of internet offerings and apps,
users are able to get right of entry to thosepackagesanytime
and everywhere with various devices and with a view to
guard customers’ digital property, authentication is needed
on every occasion they are attempting to get rightofentry to
their non-public account and statistics. However,
undertaking the authentication method in public would
possibly bring about potential shoulder browsing attacks.
Even a complicated password can be cracked without
difficulty thru shoulder surfing. using traditional textual
passwords or PIN technique, users need to type their
passwords to authenticate themselves andasa consequence
those passwords may be discovered without difficulty if a
person peeks over shoulder or uses video recording devices
which include cellular telephones. Outgrowing and
overcoming the issues related to security and to have a safe
data storage and transfer we have proposed a system where
the Pass sequence actingasOTPpreventingShoulder Surfing
attacks’ replaces the textual passwords in this manner.
Using this approach of passwords will greatly increases the
level of security and reduces the extent of various brute
force and SSAs attacks.
