A New Type of Graphical Passwords Based on Odd-Elegant Labelled Graphs

الملخص EN

Graphical password (GPW) is one of various passwords used in information communication.

The QR code, which is widely used in the current world, is one of GPWs.

Topsnut-GPWs are new-type GPWs made by topological structures (also, called graphs) and number theory, but the existing GPWs use pictures/images almost.

We design new Topsnut-GPWs by means of a graph labelling, called odd-elegant labelling.

The new Topsnut-GPWs will be constructed by Topsnut-GPWs having smaller vertex numbers; in other words, they are compound Topsnut-GPWs such that they are more robust to deciphering attacks.

Furthermore, the new Topsnut-GPWs can induce some mathematical problems and conjectures.
