Cued-Click Point Graphical Password Using Circular Tolerance to Increase Password Space and Persuasive Features

Abstract

Graphical password can be used as an alternative to text based (alphanumeric) password in which users click on images to set their passwords. Text based password uses username and password. So recalling of password is necessary which may be a difficult one. Images are generally easier to be remembered than text and in Graphical password; user can set images as their password. Therefore graphical password has been proposed by many researchers as an alternative to text based password Graphical passwords can be applied to workstation, web log-in applications, ATM machines, mobile devices etc. This paper presents implementation of Cued click point (CCP) graphical password which uses circular tolerance. Then it is found that CCP with circular tolerance is better as compared to CCP with rectangular tolerance.
