The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Guessing human-chosen secrets (2012, methodology): “Configuring communication between the mobile device and computer can be a usability challenge; an elegant solution is to use the visual channel [205] as deployed by the commercial Cronto protocol which uses the phone’s camera to receive a cryptogram displayed on screen [194].”
Security and Cooperation in Wireless Networks (2007, background): “Yet another approach, proposed by McCune, Perrig, and Reiter [271] propose to make use of the camera to capture the image displayed by another device and perform authentication tests.”
Looking ahead in pervasive computing: Challenges and opportunities in the era of cyber-physical convergence (2012, unknown): “The problemhas been explored andmore-or-less addressed in the context of interface-rich devices such as PDAs and cellphones [102,103].”
