Abstract
In this paper we present a multiplatform research framework for acquisition of pattern locks and evaluation of their strength. Along with the design features of the framework itself we provide the analysis of the data set of more than 300 pattern locks acquired by means of this solution. In particular we compare the subjective human rating of pattern memorizability and complexity with the numerical values of pattern strength measure.
