Implement and evaluate a cognitive authentication method
By Magnus Bergman and Viktor Gummesson
Abstract
When it comes to authenticating a user on the Internet today, the de facto standard is to do so with an alphanumeric password. This method is simple to use both from a user- and from a developer prespective. However there are growing concerns about the security of this scheme.
There is researches about alternatives to the alphanumeric scheme, some of these is focusing on the user's ability to remember and identifying pictures. Such a scheme is reserched and implemented in this thesis and a small study about the useability of a such scheme is presented. The results, though intresting, weren't able to gather enough data to do any statistically secure conclusion.
