Abstract

People who make their first steps into the information technologies are much more vulnerable to various security threats than experienced individuals. They don’t know how to protect their passwords, they can’t pick up complex passwords, and they cannot type quickly their passwords. During their education they can become a victim of hostile individuals. Their education process can be hindered when it comes to password authentication. Children who are still illiterate cannot take full advantage of all online resources that offer innovative education content. The same matters for adult people with low level of literacy. With some ba sic reading skills and with the latest touch-screen technologies they can be easily integrated into the IT world. When it comes to writing (typing passwords) however, things can become different for them.
