Abstract

User authentication is a vital element in ensuring the secure operations of IT systems. In the vast majority of cases, this role is fulfilled by the passwords, but evidence suggests that this approach is easily compromised Researchers are working on new approach to technology: the passwords. Researchers are developing various graphical alternatives to the traditional text passwords. Graphical approaches are more intuitive and offer more potential password than text-based systems. Besides, they are harder to crack and make it more difficult for users to pcit easily guessed passwords. However, researchers have not proven that graphical systems are more secure. Authentication by mouse movements tries to replace the traditional initial login password method It uses mouse patterns created by the user as the identification method for^ that person. Neural network with back propagation algorithm will be used^ to identify the mouse patterns. This paper presents technique and mechanism that used to make the graphical systems more secure.
