Key contributions
- Proposes "Pick and Sort" graphical authentication using chosen and arranged visual elements.
- Scheme allows configurable number of elements, grid size, and customizable visuals.
- Preliminary study shows it's easy to learn and flexible for deployment.
- Suitable for non-time-critical or secondary authentication despite longer login times.
Why it matters
This paper matters by introducing a novel graphical authentication method that prioritizes user-friendliness and adaptability. It offers a flexible alternative for scenarios where ease of use and customization are more critical than speed, potentially enhancing accessibility for diverse users.
Original Abstract
We propose a graphical authentication scheme that follows a simple ``Pick and Sort'' design in which users choose visual elements and arrange them within a grid. Both the number of selected elements and the grid size are configurable, and the visual elements can be customized for specific user groups, such as children. A preliminary study with a prototype implementation indicated that the scheme is easy to learn and flexible to deploy. Although login times are longer than those of conventional authentication methods, the additional interaction may be acceptable in scenarios that are not time-critical, such as infrequent-access use cases or as a secondary authentication mechanism.
