Password Security Using Cued Points and Cryptography

The most popular security method for safeguarding digital assets is password-based authentication. However, there are a number of issues with typical text-based passwords, including phishing, dictionary attacks, brute-force attacks, and poor memorability. Graphical password methods, which take advantage of people’s cognitive capacity to retain visual information, have been developed to get around these restrictions. This work introduces a secure authentication method that combines cryptographic techniques with graphical passwords based on cued points. While cryptographic techniques like hashing, salting, and encryption guarantee the safe storage and transfer of authentication data, cued points offer visual clues that enhance usability. The suggested system preserves user convenience while strengthening defense against frequent attacks. Applications, security analysis, working methodology, and system architecture are all well covered.
