Getting users to abandon text-based passwords has been a rather difficult task. Several alternatives to textual passwords have been proposed including authentication based on images. Research shows that graphical authentication mechanisms... more
This research examined factors which affected password creation using images on a grid. The experiment was carried out with 1,069 participants, by simulating a game of recalling pictures and using a questionnaire to gather users'... more
One of the most important topics in information security today is user authentication. User authentication is a fundamental component in most computer security contexts. It provides the basis for access control and user accountability.... more
Users gain access to cash, confidential information and services at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) via an authentication process involving a Personal Identification Number (PIN). These users frequently have many different PINs, and fail... more
Existing graphical authentication methods take into account the fact that users are more capable of remembering pictures instead of text. Graphical authentication schemes are expected to be less vulnerable to specific hacker attack... more
Username and password are the most commonly used mechanism for authentication because of simplicity and convenience. However it suffers from few drawbacks like selection of weak passwords by the users, users disclosing their passwords... more
The password the almost universal authentication solution yet is buckling under the strain. It demonstrates insufficiency and weakness due to poor choice, reuse and ease of transfer. Graphical passwords, biometrics, and hardware tokens... more
In this article we present the development of a new, web-based, graphical authentication mechanism called ImagePass. The authentication mechanism introduces a novel feature based on one-time passwords that increases the security of the... more
Researchers have developed various graphical authentication mechanisms, with varied results in different environments. However, it has been difficult to get users to abandon traditional text-passwords in favor of something unfamiliar,... more
As users can only make informed choices when the proposals being discussed are meaningful to them, enabling users to envision and make sense of those proposals is an essential element of all approaches to system design. The focus of this... more
Abstract: Recently, with the awareness of businessmen and consumers and the development of mobile technologies, the potential use of mobile devices in financial applications such as banking and stock trading has seen a rapid increase.... more
There have been numerous attempts to replace or re-design knowledge-based authentication. Despite these endeavours, driven by known usability and security weaknesses, traditional password-based systems have remained ubiquitous. Graphical... more
Abstract: Passwords provide security mechanism for authentication and protection services against unwanted access to resources. A graphical based password is one promising alternatives of textual passwords. According to human psychology,... more
This paper tries to point out flashy topics in an authentication system that works by having the user select from images, in a specific pattern (order), presented in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). So that the graphical password... more
