In this assignment, I have asked you to use your creativity in designing an authentication scheme using games.
Having seen some ‘pre-work‘ shown to me, I have a few suggestions.
Firstly, Get my name right. Please and thank you.
Secondly, have you fulfilled all the characteristics of a good authentication scheme? What are these characteristics? Research MUST be sufficient to help you gain enough information to structure your authentication game. Look at your references. That should give you a big clue on how much you read and researched. What have you referred? Is it a resource (article or paper or book) that can give you this knowledge you are seeking?
Find not you what you seek in the wrong place.
You have your game. Cool.
Look at it from a users point of view, answer questions like :
– do you find it easy?
– what is lacking?
– is it boring (as boring was one issue you highlighted)
– is it time consuming? How do show how much time it needs?
– how can I know someone else cannot enter the system as me?

Look at it from authentication (server – system – organization) point of view
– if Ali and Ahmad plays this game how are they differentiated by the authentication server?
– how much resources would I need to provide to ensure that all availability and integrity is maintained? i.e. system does not crash, system does not slow down (lag), how much more storage needed, etc
– how much time from start to login until gain entrance to system (or rejected)? this has impact towards productivity.
