Title:  Authentication by Graphical Means

Abstract:

To address the problems with traditional username-password authentication, alternative authentication methods, such as biometric, have been used. However, we will focus on another alternative: using pictures as passwords. A graphical password is an authentication system that works by having the user select from images, in a specific order, presented in a graphical user interface (GUI). The graphical-password approach is sometimes called graphical user authentication (GUA). We will use Image Processing and Biometric concepts (approaches) both to solve our problem.
