innovative approaches.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

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.

16. 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.

17. 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:-

18. 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

19. Disadvantages
1. Requires high system resources – 3D passwords demand a
lot of system resources, which can slow down the overall
performance of your device.
2. Can be hard to remember – Remembering a 3D password can
be challenging because it involves recalling a sequence of
actions in a virtual environment.
3. Takes longer to authenticate – The process of entering a 3D
password can take more time compared to traditional
passwords, which can be frustrating for users.

20. Applications of 3D Passwords
1. Enterprise Security.
For example, an employee may need to enter their username
and password (something they know), swipe a smart card
(something they possess), and provide a fingerprint scan
(something they are) to gain access to sensitive company
systems or data.
2. Financial Services.
one-time passwords (OTP) generated by a mobile app or
hardware token, and voice recognition. For instance, a user
may log in with their username and password, enter a time-
based OTP displayed on their smartphone (something they
possess), and provide a voice sample for voice recognition
(something they are) to complete the authentication process
for online banking transactions.

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.
