In this paper, we have employed "Face Recognition" technique with conventional session based authentication to provide a two layer security. Different features of a human face are used for authentication. Since this scheme uses biological characteristics, this is very difficult to forge. Additionally we will be using conventional session based authentication to provide a two layer security. This method of authentication can be used to grant access to a network, important files and documents. The main objective of this work is to provide a two layer authentication system through biometric (face) and conventional session based password authentication. The encryption key for this authentication will be generated with the combination of the biometric key [7] and session based password.
