Abstract

The aesthetic and functional abilities of artforms have played significant role in different fields of study including securing standalone or networked computer systems and handheld devices. Though some studies have centered on humans as the weakest link in the security chain, recent assertions from literatures have shown that the choice of artforms in graphical password models and allowing users to choose their own artforms or click point within an artform during authentication have a direct effect on a system’s security level. This research therefore establishes the feasibility of developing a security framework for mitigating the effects of cyberattacks in Recognition-based Graphical Password Schemes.
