STUDY ON GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION BASED SECURED AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING

With the growth of wireless technologies in sectors like the military, aviation, etc, there is a need to determine the authenticity of a genuine user. The location-based authentication is a quite new direction in the information security. The direction gains in importance nowadays due to mobile devices coming to wireless network environment. Authentication is accepting proof of identity given by a credible person who has evidence on the said identity or on the originator and the object under assessment as his artifact respectively. Traditional authentication technique generally requires an id and password to verify the identity of user. By nature, user is looking for a password that is easy to remember and secured from any attack. However, remembering many complicated passwords, especially when user has different accounts, is not an easy task. Earlier two factor authentication technique is common in use. In the two factor authentication individual can be identified by his user name and password. If username and password is matched then process of authentication is done and user can access the data. But in this technique anyone can hack password and access information.
