ABSTRACT

The objective of this project is to conduct exploratory research into the use of graphical passwords on touch screen devices. Graphical password schemes have been proposed as a possible alternative to text-based password schemes. Humans can remember pictures better than text, thus graphical passwords may contribute to a more positive user experience. We also propose a novel graphical password scheme designed specifically for touch screen devices. Since touch screen devices dominate the mobile world, this project has the potential to influence design of mobile user experiences.
