What is this
project?
A simple yet secure login system using assembly language.
Why assembly
language?
It allows low-level control, optimized performance,
and a deeper understanding of hardware interaction
Objective?
Verify user IDs and passwords, ensuring correct
credentials grant access.
The
challenge
How can we implement a secure
authentication system using limited
instructions in assembly?
1 Input user ID and password.
Compare inputs with stored
2 credentials.
Grant or deny access based on
3 verification.
Logical Flow
of the Program
05
Step 1: Initialize Data Segment.
Step 2: Input User ID and Password.
Step 3: Match credentials against stored data.
Step 4: Handle errors or grant access.
Step 5: Loop for retries if incorrect.

Insights
Debugging tools
1 Step-by-step execution.
Simulator-specific features
2 Pseudo-instructions and memory view.
String Operations
3 string instructions like MOVSB, MOVSW,
REP, and CMPSB for bulk data
manipulation. They are optimized for
performance.
Learning Outcomes
Gained an in-depth understanding of assembly
language programming.
Learned how to use EMU8086 for simulating and
debugging low-level programs.
Understood the importance of memory management,
addressing modes, and stack operations.
Improved problem-solving skills by optimizing code
for 8086 architecture.
Final Thoughts
Foundation for Low-Level Programming: Provides a clear understanding
of how hardware and software interact.
Performance Optimization: Insight into crafting highly efficient programs.
Debugging Proficiency: Enhanced ability to troubleshoot programs at a
micro-level.
