Abstract:
The most important aspect of security in computing is user authentication which is the process of confirming the identity of users and granting such users access to their systems. Several graphical password schemes have been developed as alternatives to traditional alphanumeric passwords to overcome issues associated with user authentication problems present in traditional methods. Since the end users of each system are humans and humans are gullible in the understanding of security concepts, human factors represent the weakest part of a security system and the fundamental reason why many attacks on computers and systems are successful. This paper is designed to investigate the influence of human factors such as gender, age and familiarity on user choice of images for graphical passwords. In order to conduct acceptable and genuine investigation, we proposed and tested a hybrid authentication prototype using celebrities’ images for face based graphical authentication systems. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to participants who partook in the prototype testing. Responses of the participants were collected and the data was analyzed via SPSS. Our evaluations suggested promising result to indicate that user choice of images for graphical password is affected by gender, age and the familiarity of system users to the images provided

Abstract:
This study was conducted with the aim of revealing supporting and inhibiting factors and strategies that can be applied to increase the contribution of Karang Taruna in village development. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews and documentation.
The results of the study indicate that Karang Taruna Kali Pecabean Village, Sidoarjo Regency has a strategic role as a forum for young people to apply their potential and creativity for village progress. Supporting factors include community support, cooperation with the village government and the private sector, and adequate funding. On the other hand, inhibiting factors are mainly related to ineffective communication, as well as constraints in funding and access to resources.
The recommended strategies to increase the role of Karang Taruna include increasing internal and external communication, increasing member capacity, diversifying funding sources, and expanding cooperation networks. Thus, this study contributes to understanding and optimizing the role of youth organizations in the context of local development, especially in Kali Pecabean Village, Sidoarjo Regency.
