Sorry for the late reply. This system isn't designed to be used on a terminal over the net. From the original paper:
The proposed system is designed to be
used as a local password mechanism requiring physical
presence. That is, we consider authentication at the
entrance to a secure location where a guard can ensure
that a real person is taking the test without the aid of
any electronics.
And . . . We note that physical presence is necessary in
authentication systems designed to resist coercion
attacks. If the system supported remote authentication
then an attacker could coerce a trained user to
authenticate to a remote server and then hijack the
session.
If you're allowed remote attempts and multiple failures, the system is insecure in several ways. It's designed to work in a scenario where you get ONE attempt, and there's an armed guard who doesn't take kindly to it if you fail.
