This paper details the development and implementation of a research project in support of a Computer Security and Information Warfare class. The purpose of the project is to teach students in-depth knowledge about a security topic and provide a research experience. This particular security project is graphical passwords and the goal of the project is to investigate a unique implementation of a graphical passwords scheme known as Cued Click Points (CCP). The CCP method has a large key space that reduces the likelihood of a successful attack using traditional techniques such as brute force or dictionary attacks. The project developed an implementation of CCP that combined the graphical approach with user?s familiarity with navigating through Google maps. The user is presented with an image of the United States and simply clicks to where the 'key' destination is located using a zooming map levels approach. Google Maps and the Processing environment permit a simple implementation allowing the focus of the project to be on data collection and analysis. This paper will provide background on the CCP approach, describe the implementation, and present the results based on user feedback using the system.
