Abstract :
The portable storage market environment is rapidly changing due to the emergence of USB memory. USB memory is used as a portable storage device by many users. However, due to the high portability of USB memory, USB sticks are frequently lost and stolen. In this Paper we suggest a secure user authentication method in which it is hard to guess the password and bypass authentication. In addition, security and efficiency are provided through a user authentication password backup and recovery mechanism to access the secure area.
