Balancing security and usability in graphical authentication

The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to solve a relevant problem – how to provide user ability to authenticate themselves quickly and conveniently while maintaining a high level of system security. The paper analyses system attacks, password policies, usability goals, heuristics, and usability impact on security. Creating system wireframes, according to the system design guidelines, of which only one will be selected based on the assessment of user needs. A functional prototype will be presented that will be used for testing purposes to find out if developed system provides better usability and security than current password authentication systems. Based on the conclusions obtained in the work, a graphical authentication system will be created, which will be validated according to security and usability criteria
