Abstract

Authentication is widely used nowadays due to greatly expansion of the technology in order to verify a person identity and the most common used is textual authentication. Textual authentication has a lot vulnerabilities that caused the password easily been stolen by using visual hacking, sniffed by capturing the keyboard input using keylogger and easily being brute force attack using specified tools. In order to solve these issues, two main objectives are derived in this project which are to analyse authentication mechanism and to create an color mechanism authentication algorithm. Therefore, the aim of this project is to construct a new authentication algorithm using color mechanism in order to solve the issues occurred in textual authentication. This authentication will increase the complexity of the password compared to textual password which require users to memorize their color selection to provide as maximum security. The color mechanism authentication algorithm consists of three processes which are Color Selection, Hexadecimal Password Encryption and Password Verification.Waterfall model was chosen as the methodology of this project and used throughout the entire project which consists of several phase such as analysis, requirement specification, design, implementation, testing and maintenance which able ensure smooth progression along the project. This project will contributes on a new authentication mechanism that called as Color Authentication Mechanism that able to solve the weaknesses of textual authentication and harden the level of security in authentication layer. This new algorithm also may able to fully replace textual authentication in the future.
