A Survey Analysis of Recognition-Based Graphical Password Art-form Design Attributes

摘要

Over the current century, recognition-based graphical password models (RGPM) that embed art-forms in their interfaces have been designed to enable users to comply with fundamental usability and security requirements, yet users still find it a challenge to comply with these requirements. Though some studies have centered on humans as the weakest link in the security chain, recent assertions from the literature have shown that the choice of art-forms in graphical password models and allowing users to choose their own art-forms or click point within an art-form during authentication can have a direct effect on a system’s usability and security level.This study is a literature survey on RGPM. The occurrence of some important design attributes relating to RGPM are analyzed in order to determine unique design attributes that can be used as a framework to measure the quality RGPM from designers’perspective. Our result shows that there exist 80 art-form design attributes that can be used as a framework to measure the quality of art-forms in RGPM.
