Abstract

Authentication is crucial for protecting users and their data. Due to the weaknesses that appear in alphanumeric passwords as a result of user actions, new approaches have been developed, such as those based on graphical authentication. One of these systems is Passpoints, which stands out for its security and ease of use. This article presents our own implementation of this system, the result of an exhaustive study of the system in question. This study addressed both the functioning and security of the Passpoints system, identifying its weaknesses and exploring existing proposals to mitigate them. For the main implementation of this system, other essential intermediate implementations were carried out for its complete development. To achieve this, a comprehensive analysis of available discretization methods was conducted to select the most effective and efficient for subsequent translation into programming code, as well as research regarding the adaptation of this system to the variety of current screen resolutions and image sizes, allowing the adaptation of this implementation to any type of device. This process is fundamental to turning the system into a real product that can be evaluated by real users across different media.
