Abstract

Recently smartphones, tablet, etc. Various types of smart terminal is due to the increased security in mobile devices are becoming an issue. How to enter the password in this environment is a very important issue. Difficult to have a secure password input device on various types of mobile devices. In addition you enter on the touch screen the password of character, uncomfortable and it is vulnerable to SSA attack. Therefore, in this paper provide for defense the SSA(Shoulder Surfing Attacks) and useful password input mechanism is proposed with Smartphone GPS uses a value generated via a graphical password techniques.

스마트폰, 태블릿 PC 등 다양한 형태의 모바일 스마트 단말이 증가함에 따라 이러한 모바일 단말 환경에서의 정보보호가 큰 이슈가 되고 있으며 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이런 정보보호의 한 연구 방안 중 안전하게 패스워드를 입력하는 방법은 매우 중요한 요소이며, 다양한 형태의 모바일 단말에서는 자체적인 하드웨어 제약 사항에 따라 높은 보안 등급의 패스워드 입력 장치를 구비하기 힘든 어려움을 가진다. 또한 터치스크린을 통해 단순한 문자들을 패스워드로 입력하게 되면 입력의 불편함이 따를 수 있으며, 엿보기 공격에 취약한 특성을 가지게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 엿보기 공격을 방어하고 사용자 입력 편의를 제공하기 위해서 스마트폰에서 생성할 수 있는 GPS 위치 정보를 이용하여 새로운 그래피컬 패스워드 기법을 제안하고 구현하였다.
