NeoAuth

A graphical authentication system based on cognimetrics, that is built on the principle of using arbitrary objects instead of images as the "pass-phrase".

Experince The App

The app is currently active on -> http://christojobyantony.zapto.org:4001/auth

The Stack

This implementation of NeoAuth is built on

1. API -> Fast API Python
2. ORM -> SQLAlchemy
3. Server -> MariaDB (Or any other SQL alternative)
4. Frontend -> React Typescript

API - Setup

1. The API dependencies can be installed using poetry poetry install
2. Add at least 32 objects (SVG files) to the directory /api/objects/
3. The objects then need to be uploaded to the DB using the command > python -m api.object
4. Store your database credentials under /api/secrets/mysql_config.txt in the format -> <username>:<password>:<database>
5. Generate a JWT secret key and store it under /api/secrets/jwt_key.txt
6. Now u can run the API by, python main.py

Frontend - Setup

1. Install all the dependencies using npm install.
2. Update the api.tsx located in /app/src/api.tsx to specify API network address.
3. The app is ready run npm start

The Concept

NeoPass

Composes of 4 - 8 arbiatry objects of user choices.

Objects

An object is the image of an arbitrary and recognisable singular entity, like a car, apple, etc.

Image

An Image is a collection of multiple objects randomly composited together using Python.

ImageSet

Image Set is a collection of 16 images that represent a single challenge. An image set will consist of all the objects.

Challenge

The challenge is a collection of 4 or more image sets. From which the user is required to select his objects.
