Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have recently proposed an user authentication system using "unclear images" as pass-images, in which only the legitimate users can understand their meanings by viewing the original images corresponding to the unclear pass-images. These unclear images are meaningless for unauthorized users. Hence it is difficult for unauthorized users to remember the unclear pass-images, even though they observe the legitimate users' authentication trial. In this paper we propose a new type of Challenge & Response based image authentication by using a feature of unclear image, which we call as "Cue & Response (Q & R) based image authentication". In this authentication, it is expected that even simple calculation of a response can achieve high robustness against observing attackers by hiding a challenge (cue) from unauthorized users. By doing this, only a legitimate user can respond to a randomly changing cue properly while unauthorized users are prevented from impersonating with limited amount of observing attacks. We conduct fundamental experiments to study the availability of the proposal Q & R image authentication system.
