In general, it is difficult to remember a strong password i.e. a long and random password. So, the common tendency of a user is to select a weak alphanumeric password that is easy to remember. But the password which is easy to remember is also easy to predict. In contrast, the password that is very difficult to predict or requires more computation to break is also difficult to remember. To overcome this limitation of creating secure and memorable passwords, researchers have developed graphical password scheme which takes images as passwords rather than alphanumeric characters. But graphical password schemes are vulnerable to shoulder-surfing attack where an attacker can capture a password by direct observation. In this paper a graphical password scheme, namely SG-PASS is proposed which can prevent the shoulder-surfing attack by a human observer and also spyware attack, using a challenge response method.
