Towed authentication device

Abstract

The invention discloses a towed authentication device which comprises an electronic apparatus, a setting mechanism and an authentication mechanism, wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a processing unit, a display unit, an operating unit and an electric power unit; the setting mechanism is connected with the processing unit, and comprises a first password selecting unit and a second password selecting unit for selecting related characters and patterns; and the authentication mechanism is connected with the processing unit, and comprises a plurality of alternatively displayed first password authentication parts and second password authentication parts, wherein each first password authentication part defines a polygonal region according to the password set in the first password selecting unit, and enables the polygonal region to be matched with each second password authentication part for authentication in a towed manner. Thus, the security of a user while logging in can be improved really, and logging attack and dictionary attack can be withstood effectively, thereby achieving the effects of reducing the risk that the password is stolen, and increasing the reliability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an authentication device, in particular to a drag type authentication device. Background technique [0002] At present, the security of authentication login is becoming more and more important. For example, ATM and online banking use PIN number to log in, and use traditional account passwords when logging in to various operating systems, and select the login system with pictures that appear today, or use writing or writing on the touch screen. Log in by drawing a picture. [0003] The known traditional user login system has several basic requirements, that is, the user must have and know his account and password, and the login process must be completed in a secure environment; the traditional login method is to use the keyboard to enter the password to log in (including Enter PIN), or use the virtual keyboard (including network ATM virtual number keys and touch screen) generated on the screen to log in by touch or mouse click, but th...

[0003] The known traditional user login system has several basic requirements, that is, the user must have and know his account number and password, and the login process must be completed in a safe environment; the traditional login method is to use the keyboard to enter the password to log in (including Enter PIN), or use the virtual keyboard generated on the screen (including network ATM virtual number keys and touch screen), use touch or mouse to log in, but these keyboard typing methods cannot resist skimming Attack, that is, when an attacker (a person who intends to steal the account password) implants a monitoring program or installs a camera to record on the user end (including ATM or personal computer), the user's password is completely unprotected Snooped by attackers, these leaked passwords often result in financial damage

[0004] Also, the current trend is towards touch screens (such as mobile phones, PDAs, computer screens, etc.), some of which have smaller screens and are inconvenient to use virtual keyboards; Allows users to log in more securely even when exposed to insecure environments, and replaces drag and drop without using a virtual keyboard
