Abstract

In this paper, we propose a user friendly password input method for mobile devices which is secure against SSA. The proposed method is a numeric password input method such as a conventional PIN method. One of the buttons, numbers and colors, so as to display the two pieces of information to double. The user can select one of the colors or numbers within one button to type in the password. Because an attacker does not know whether the user has entered any color and number, the proposed technique is safe from the SSA. Also to be secure for smudge attacks and password guessing attacks through random changes in the number and color information.

본 논문에서는 모바일 환경에서 훔쳐보기 공격에 안전하면서도 사용자 편의성이 뛰어난 패스워드 입력 방식을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 기존의 PIN방식과 같은 숫자 패스워드 입력 방식이다. 하나의 버튼은 숫자와 색, 두가지의 정보를 이중으로 표시하도록 한다. 사용자는 한 버튼 내에 있는 색이나 숫자 정보 중 하나를 선택하여 패스워드로 입력하도록 한다. 제안한 기법에서 공격자는 사용자가 색과 숫자 어느 것을 입력한 것인지 모르기 때문에, 훔쳐보기 공격으로부터 안전할 수 있다. 또한 숫자와 색 정보의 무작위 변경을 통하여 스머지(Smudge) 공격과 패스워드 추측 공격에도 강인하도록 한다.
