Abstract: Current Authentication schemes suffer many weaknesses. Textual passwords are widely used; but this textual passwords easy to break and vulnerable to dictionary attacks or brute force attacks. Available Authentication schemes face many problems. Graphical passwords face lack of space. Smart cards or tokens can be lost or prone to theft. Many biometric authentication schemes have been proposed but users tend to resist using that because of their intrusiveness on their privacy. In this paper, we describe the method for implementing connectionless approach for stronger authentication. The proposed Grid-Pin scheme is two-factor authentication scheme which is totally based on knowledge based authentication scheme. It combines current existing textual password scheme and Grid based scheme in which user has to enter his/her PIN (Personal Identification Number) into PIGP( Personal Identification Grid Pattern) out of matrix 4*4 to login his/her account. This is a simple approach for a secure authentication which reduces the probability of breaking textual passwords to a large extent. The main purpose of this method is to provide the stronger authentication to organization’s personal data. The secure method guarantees that Authenticating to services like ATM machine is done in very secure manner.
