Abstract
The traditional text-based password is vulnerable guessing, dictionary attacks, keyloggers, social engineering, stole view, etc. these vulnerability effect more serious problem in a mobile environment. In this study, By using the pattern number to enter the password of an existing four-digit numeric password, User easily use to new password system. The technology on pattern based numerical password authorization proposed in this paper would intensify the security of password which holds existing 10 numbers of cases by authorizing a user and would not invade convenience of use by providing high security and making users memorize only four numbers like old method. Making users not have inconvenience and raising complexity, it would have a strength to an shoulder surfing attack of an attacker. So I study password system that represents the shape-based of number. I propose the new password system to prevent peeking attacks and Brute-force attack, and this proposal is to review the security and usability.
