Expanded Password System (Dictionary Entry)

Quotes

Here is a description of EPS.

- EPS will enable the user to select any number of images through an interface of their choice, using a matrix of images which could be small or large depending on the level of security the user wants to achieve for a particular application.

- EPS will enable the user to register a set of any number of images of their choice either by permutation or combination as credentials and embed them into a matrix of images composed of decoy images.

- EPS will enable the user to register text passwords by accepting characters (alphanumeric, emoji, characters of any language like Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, etc.) as images and the system will handle all characters as images.

- EPS will allocate an image identifier, made of reasonably long random data, to each image so that the total sum of the identifiers for registered images will generate long random credential data.

- The credential data to be stored will be hashed with a salt that is unique to each user leveraging the latest cryptographic modules like ‘bcrypt’.

- EPS will provide the user with explanations on the merits and demerits of permutation and combination for image registration.

- EPS will provide the user with suggestions on what kind of images to register.
