Graphical Password Authentication: Personalized Cued Click Points to overcome the limitations of Persuasive Cued Click Points

Abstract

With the rising amount of transactions and activities done online, almost every site requires user authentication. Along with the convenience of having everything online also comes the risk of having all your privileged and confidential data being either stolen or misused. We will be studying the various authentication schemes being used today and also their strengths and limitations. This paper focuses on using a slightly modified version of Cued Click points referred to as Personalized Cued Click points instead of Persuasive cued click points and the aim of this paper is to propose a future-proof method that would easily adapt into the existing systems available today while enhancing the security and making it easier to remember as well. Personalized cued click points also prevents hotspots and Brute-force attacks. We suggest using personalized cued click points which is capable of eliminating all of the above limitations.
