Abstract :

The main goal for authentication systems is to support users in selecting better passwords. Users often use easily memorable passwords that are easy for attackers to guessing attack, but strong system assigned password is difficult for users to remember. Graphical password generally uses an image or representation of image as password. Human brain is better in remembering picture than remembering a textual character. There are various graphical password schemes or graphical password software in the market. However, not much research has been done to analyze graphical passwords that are still immature. Hence, this project work is based on persuasive cued clicks points (PCCP). The major goal of this work is to protect against guessing attacks as well as encouraging users to select more random and difficult passwords to be guessed by an attacker. Well known security threats like brute force attacks and dictionary attacks can be successfully abolished using this method.
