One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: A New Wallet Recovery Process
We introduce a new wallet recovery process. Our solution associates 1) visual passwords: a photograph of a secretly picked object (Chabanne et al., 2013) with 2) ImageNet classifiers transforming images into binary vectors and, 3) obfuscated fuzzy matching (Galbraith and Zobernig, 2019) for the storage of visual passwords/retrieval of wallet seeds. Our experiments show that the replacement of long seed phrases by a photograph is possible.
