With the development of Internet communication and the use of a variety of online services has been greatly expanded. Therefore, the importance of authentication techniques for users of online services has increased. The most commonly used methods for user authentication is a technique that utilizes a prearranged password. However, the existing password scheme for authentication must use the same password every time. Therefore, the password being leaked by attackers, it can be used maliciously. In this paper, we proposed the Variable Password Generation Method in Internet Authentication System that generates a new password using information such as the access date, time, and IP address when user logs in. The method proposed in this paper prevents disclosure of personal information due to password exposure and improves the reliability and competitiveness in the field of security systems.

Enforcing additional authentication to password-based authentication, in addition to attempting to increase the security of the password itself, helps to improve the security of the password authentication scheme. For a well-known problem of using strong passwords that differ from site to site, we propose a scheme for password generation and management with an inherent supplementary authentication. Like the so-called password manager, the scheme retrieves and presents a strong site-specific password whenever requested without requiring the user to remember multiple passwords. Unlike the existing methods, however, the scheme permits the password retrieval process to proceed only through the authenticated user's ownership verified smartphone. Hence, even for sites not enforcing or supporting two-factor authentication, the logon process can benefit from the scheme's assurance of enhanced security with its two-factor equivalent authentication. The scheme can also prevent an attacker from impersonating a user or stealing secrets even when the stored information of the server for password retrieval service or the user's smartphone is leaked.

A disposable password is necessary to avoid any danger by the use of a static password and reinforce the user's authentication. In order to prevent personal information from being exposed, OTP generation algorithm is regarded as important. The OTP generation algorithm we suggest in this thesis generates 256-bit-size OTP Data by using Seed value and Time value. This value that the generated OTP Data are arranged with a matrix and a 32-bit-value is extracted on an irregular basis becomes the final value. We can find out that the more OTP generation frequency we have, the lower probability of clash tolerance we get in our suggested algorithm, compared to the previous algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to find if the password composition of domestic users is affected by the different form of the word 'Password' in the interface of login or password change. In particular, 'Password', foreign notation, and 'Secret Number', notation translated by Korean, have a semantic difference. According to the survey of 200 students in S university, passwords made under the word 'Secret Number' are heavy on numbers than alphabet. Because these passwords make much smaller composition space than another case, they have bad security impact. We expect to make use of this paper as a base line data for study to find how improve domestic user's password security.

In this paper, we propose new technique which uses the fingerprint features in order to generate one time passwords(OTPs). Fingerprint is considered to be one of the powerful personal authentication factors and it can be used for generating variable passwords for one time use. Also we performed a simulation of homomorphic graph variable of fingerprint feature point using dendrogram and distribution of fingerprint feature points for proposed password generation method.

As evidenced through rapidly growing digital devices and information, digital authentication is becoming ever more critical, especially considering the complex and prevalent digital accounts we are using every day. Also, digital authentication is apt to consistent digital security application. In this sense, digital security quality and usability can be enhanced by developing a mechanism for efficient digital authentication. In this paper, a mechanism of efficient digital authentication called T-TIME is introduced in order to alleviate issues dealing with secure and user friendly authentication across ever- growing digital devices and information. Touch Signal generation time difference is utilized for T-TIME as a mediation mechanism that enhances the security quality by confusing others unlike other graphical password mechanisms which are using spatial information. Hence, digital authentication by using T-TIME can be a good way of enhancing security quality and usability.

With the active Internet e-commerce and the financial sector, mutual authentication between users and service providers has become very important. Because ID- and password-based authentication is of low security, one-time password authentication methods are widely used. The existing one-time password authentication scheme of S/Key authentication method is fraught with a number of issues in addition to plain text transmission, and the method of Kim Gong-ki et al. does not offer suggestions for session key generation and distribution method. Proposed in this paper is a protocol that solves these problems.

Over the years a password has been used as a popular authentication method between a client and a server because of its easy-to-memorize property. But, most password-based authentication services have focused on a same password authentication scheme which provides an authentication and key exchange between a client and a server with the same password. With rapid change of communication environments in the fields such as mobile networks, home networking, etc., the end-to-end security allowing users to hold different password is considered as one of main concerns. In this paper, we consider a new authentication service of how each client with different own password is able to authenticate each other, which is a quite new service paradigm among the existing services. This new service can be used in the current or next generation network environment where a mobile user in cell A wants to establish a secure end-to-end channel with users in ceil B, C, and D using only their memorable passwords. This end-to-end security service minimizes the interferences from the operator controlled by network components. To achieve this end-to-end security, we propose an authentication and key exchange service for group users in different realm, and analyze its security in a formal way. We also discuss a generic construction with the existing authentication schemes.

Rapid development of internet service is enabling internet banking services in anywhere and anytime. However, service access through internet can be exposed to adversary easily. To prevent, current service providers execute authentication process with user's identification and password. However, majority of users use short and simple password and do not periodically change their password. As a result of this, user's password could be exposed to attacker's brute force attack. In this paper, we presented enhanced password system which guarantee higher security even though users do not change their current password. The method uses additional secret information to replace real password periodically without replacement of real password.

In 2013, Li et al. proposed an improved smart card-based remote user password authentication scheme, and claimed that their scheme not only overcomes security weaknesses of the Chen et al.'s scheme but also is a more user friendly scheme compared with other schemes. In this paper, we analyze the security of Li et al.'s authentication scheme and we show that Li et al.'s authentication scheme is still insecure against the various attacks, such as the off-line password guessing attack, the forgery attack, and the session key generation attack etc. Also, we propose an improved scheme that can resist these security drawbacks of Li et al.'s authentication, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result of security analysis, the improved scheme is relatively more secure against several attacks than other related schemes in terms of the security.
