3D Password for More Secure Authentication for Smart Phone

Authentication on mobile devices is not (and should not be) the same as on desktop and laptop computers. Since past few years there has been a remarkable rise in the popularity of touch screen mobile phone devices. With respect to the data and information that can be stored on the mobiles as well as mobiles are nowadays are also used for accessing mail and connecting to social media so it is necessary to ensure the security of the data and information that is stored on the mobiles. User authentication is an important security measure for protecting the information stored on the mobile phone devices. When user enters their password in public place then it can be capture by attacker by direct observation or by recording the user’s authentication session. This attack is known as Shoulder surfing attack. In this paper, we present a 3-D password for more secure authentication for smart phone. The 3D Password is multi-factor and multi password authentication techniques that consist of 3D virtual environment containing real time object scenarios.
