SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PASSWORD RECOVERY USING FUZZY LOGIC

摘要

The embodiments herein provide a method and system for password recovery using Fuzzy logic. The system includes a receiving module, a validation module, an authentication module, a display module, a memory module, and a network interface. The system uses a phonetic algorithm such as Soundex algorithm for enabling the password recovery process. The user credentials received through the receiving module is validated with the validation module at the time of accessing the application. The authentication module is configured to authenticate the user using a fuzzy logic derived from a phonetic algorithm, by matching the answers of the user with the stored answers to compute a score which is compared with a threshold score. The user is enabled to unlock the user device when the computed validation score is greater than the threshold score.

1. A system for enabling password recovery using a fuzzy logic for an application installed on a user device, the system comprising:
a receiving module configured to receive a user entry through a user device, and wherein the user entry includes access credentials for accessing an application, wherein the receiving module is configured to prompt the user to register and provide access credentials for the first time, and wherein the access credentials include at least user e-mail identity and a password; a validation module configured to validate the access credentials provided by the user, and wherein the validation module is configured to validate the user by comparing the access credentials provided by the user at a time of accessing the application with the access credentials provided during a registration process, and wherein the validation module is coupled to the receiving module; an authentication module configured to authenticate the user by posing/posting a plurality of questions, and wherein the questions are selected from a question bank, and wherein the question bank includes the questions and answers provided during the time of registration, and wherein the authentication module is configured to authenticate the user by matching the answers provided by the user and the pre-determined answers, and wherein the authentication module is configured to authenticate the user using a fuzzy logic, and wherein the fuzzy logic is derived from a phonetic algorithm, wherein the authentication module is coupled to the validation module; a display module configured to display the access credentials of the user and the questions for completing the authentication, and wherein the display module is communicably coupled to the user device; and a memory configured for storing the user information, wherein the user information include the question bank, the user credentials, a plurality of questions and answers for the questions, user metadata, application data, and application metadata.
