Kerberos for Email Login

Advances in the field of Information Technology make Information Security an inseparable part of it. In today's world, Electronic mail or e-mail is the one that is most prone to intrusions like phishing which acquires sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. In order to deal with security, authentication like biometrics plays an important role. Biometrics technology is simply the measurement and use of the unique characteristics of living humans to distinguish them from one another to ensure that the rendered services are accessed only by a legitimate user and it is more useful as compared to passwords as they can be lost or stolen. In this paper, a method which is based on biometric recognition which would avoid any intrusion possible to the email is proposed.
