 Introduction to 3D password
• In today's digital era, the security of personal information and
sensitive data is crucial.
• Traditional password-based systems have demonstrated
vulnerabilities.
• Brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, and social engineering.
• The need for stronger authentication mechanisms has led to
innovative approaches.
 Background of the Study

History and Evolution of Passwords

• Passwords have a long history, dating back to ancient
times when they were used to identify friend or foe.
• In the 1960s and 1970s, passwords gained prominence
with the rise of time-sharing systems.
• Early password systems relied on simple alphanumeric
passwords.
 Limitations of Traditional Text-based Passwords

• As computer systems advanced, so did password cracking

techniques, such as brute-force attacks and dictionary
attacks.
• Password complexity requirements were implemented,
including the use of uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and special characters.
• However, single-factor authentication based on text-based
passwords has inherent limitations.
 Introducing the 3D Password

• In response to the limitations of traditional passwords, the

concept of the 3D password was introduced.
• The 3D password is a multi-factor authentication scheme
that leverages three-dimensional graphical environments.
• It integrates various authentication factors, such as
gestures, biometrics, and graphical objects, to create a
more complex and secure authentication process
 Motivation Behind Organizing the Seminar on

convenience. Complex authentication processes or frequent
interactions with 3D environments may impact user experience
and efficiency.
 Problems in 3D password

• Designing and implementing a reliable 3D password

system requires substantial expertise in various fields
such as computer graphics, computer vision, and user
behavior analysis.

• While they have the potential to provide enhanced

security, they may also introduce usability issues for
users
• Users might find it difficult to remember the exact
sequence of actions required to authenticate themselves,
especially if the system demands a high level of
precision.

 CHAPTER TWO
Literature review
What is 3d password
• 3D password is a novel authentication method that aims to
enhance the security of traditional password-based systems.

• Unlike traditional passwords that are typically based on

alphanumeric characters, the 3D password adds an extra
dimension to the authentication process by incorporating
three different factors: something the user knows, something
the user has, and something the user is.
 Cont….
• The first factor, something the user knows
• The second factor, something the user has
• The third factor, something the user is, utilizes biometric
characteristics to authenticate as follow:-
 Advantage
• 3D passwords establish a robust defense against
unauthorized access.

• The personalization inherent in spatial and biometric

components contributes to a sense of ownership and user
engagement, fostering a more secure authentication
experience.

• The utilization of multimodal biometrics enhances

accuracy and resilience against spoofing attempts
Disadvantages
 Applications of 3D Passwords
1. Enterprise Security.
2. Financial Services.
3. E-commerce Platforms.
4. Smartphones and Mobile Devices.
5. Cloud Security.
6. Airport Security and Border Control.
 CHAPTER THREE

various devices and operating environments.
 Working of 3D password scheme
1. Registration
• Whenever a new user tries to register, he must enter all the
details are available in the registration form.
• Now the user enters a virtual environment where he must input
textual password an also select images from the multiple
images option available.
• all these interactions now get stored in the database in an
encrypted form.
2. Authentication
• user must enter the username and password.
• Then he needs to click on the images in a proper sequence.
• After that, all the interactions get fetched from the database
and get compared one after another upon the grant of the
access to authorized user, now he can access all the
application.
