%0 Journal Article %T A NOVEL APPROACH FOR AUTHENTICATING TEXTUAL OR GRAPHICAL PASSWORDS USING HOPFIELD NEURAL NETWORK %A ASN Chakravarthy %A P S Avadhani %A P. E. S. N Krishna Prasad %A N.Rajeev %J Advanced Computing : an International Journal %D 2011 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Password authentication using Hopfield Networks is presented in this paper .In this paper we discussed the Hopfield Network Scheme for Textual and graphical passwords, for which input Password will be converted in to probabilistic values. We observed how to get password authentication using Probabilistic values for Textual passwords and Graphical passwords. This study proposes the use of a Hop eld neural network technique for password authentication. In comparison to existing layered neuralnetwork techniques, the proposed method provides better accuracy and quicker response time to registration and password changes. %K Password %K Authentication %K Hopfield model %K Textual password %K Graphical password. %U http://airccse.org/journal/acij/papers/2411acij04.pdf
