Abstract

Spyware is now a serious threat to computer security. In particular, the Internet is used to remotely login to servers in which sensitive data and applications are stored. Spyware can steal passwords when users login to servers through the Internet We propose a new password scheme which is strongly resistant to spyware. In theory, a password in the scheme is a set of random strings. We programmed the scheme and conducted experiments. The result is promising.
