Abstract

When a password is being entered in a computer system, shoulder surfing attacks are of great concern. To solve this problem, existing system used limited cognitive capabilities of a human adversary, but there was a disadvantage with the assumption. In this paper, we show that human adversaries can be more effective at eavesdropping than expected, in particular by employing cognitive strategies and by training themselves. Our novel approach called improved Black and White method indeed can break the well-known PIN entry method previously evaluated to be secure against shoulder surfing. Another contribution in this paper for information security is the authentication service which uses local database and hash.
