Graphical Password Authentication: Implementation and Evaluation of Personalized Persuasive Cued Click Points

Abstract

Persuasive Cued Click-Points (PCCP) is an integrated evaluation of the graphical password scheme, including usability and security evaluations, and implementation considerations. The systematic examination provides a comprehensive and integrated evaluation of PCCP covering both usability and security issues. An important usability goal for knowledge-based authentication systems is to support users in selecting passwords of higher security, in the sense of being from an expanded effective security space.  This research work explores the possibility of designing and constructing a module that is easily pluggable into the existing authentication systems being used as of now. The working prototype is an open source simulation consisting of all the necessary modules to build the authentication system. This system is built using Java and Oracle 10g Express Edition as the database although most database systems can be used.
