Pick and Sort for Graphical Authentication
Fri 12 Jun 2026 11:00 - 11:15 at JMS 707 - Software Security Engineering Workshop Chair(s): Mohammad Alshayeb, Mahmood Niazi
We propose a graphical authentication scheme that follows a simple “Pick and Sort” design in which users choose visual elements and arrange them within a grid. Both the number of selected elements and the grid size are configurable, and the visual elements can be customized for specific user groups, such as children. A preliminary study with a prototype implementation indicated that the scheme is easy to learn and flexible to deploy. Although login times are longer than those of conventional authentication methods, the additional interaction may be acceptable in scenarios that are not time-critical, such as infrequent-access use cases or as a secondary authentication mechanism.
