Technical project report about graphical passwords on the Hololens published (24-03-2025)

The technical project report "Project Report HSF Research Area 4 -Graphical Authentication on Augmented Reality" by Melanie Volkamer, Reyhan Duzgun, Tobias Hilt, Philipp Matheis and Peter Mayer has been published. In a between-subjects lab study with 126 participants, three different combinations of grid size and secret length for the “Things” authentication scheme were examined. While a two-row layout with a total of 10 images showed slight advantages over the other variants, the qualitative feedback indicates that the optimal user experience can be achieved by allowing users to adjust the grid size individually. This technical project report was written as part of the subtopic ‘Methods for Engineering Secure Systems’ of the Helmholtz Topic ‘Engineering Secure Systems (ESS)’.
