USER AUTHENTICATION USING EYE-BLINK PASSWORD

Personal identification numbers (PINS) are used to authenticate a user for security purpose. In order to authenticate himself the user should physically input the PIN, which might be susceptible to password cracking via shoulder surfing or thermal tracking. Authenticating a PIN with hands-off eye blinks PIN entry techniques, on the opposite hand, offers a safer password entry option by not leaving any physical footprints behind. User authentication using eye-blink password refers to finding the attention blinks in sequential image frames, and generation of PIN. This paper presents an application with three layer authentication system that are face detection, PIN entry by eye blink and OTP (One Time Password) to avoid thermal tracking attacks and shoulder surfing.
