Abstract
A system and method for securing a user on a network using a cursor control is disclosed. The system includes a client and a server. The server includes a back-end component that generates graphics that include a keyboard. The key on the keyboard may be randomly assigned. The graphic is displayed on the client. The user enters a sequence of character coordinates by clicking on the keyboard within the graphic. The sequence is captured and forwarded to the back-end component for authentication.
Claims18
A system for securing a user on a network via a login process, comprising:
- a server having a back-end component to generate a graphic, wherein said graphic includes a keyboard;
- a client to receive said graphic and to display said graphic to said user;
- and
- a cursor control coupled to said client to indicate character coordinates on said keyboard using a cursor, wherein a sequence of said character coordinates is sent to said backend component to authenticate said sequence.
A secure login system for a network, wherein a user enters an identification and a password at a client, comprising:
- a graphic generated by a server coupled to said client via said network, wherein said graphic is supported by an applet at said client;
- a keyboard represented within said graphic, said keyboard having keys indicating different characters;
- a back-end component at said server to generate said keys on said keyboard;
- a sequence of character coordinates correlating to said keys, captured by said applet, wherein said sequence is indicated by clicking a cursor over said keys;
- and
- a data packet comprising said sequence of character coordinates, wherein said data packet is sent to said back-end component.
A method for securing a user on a network via a login process, comprising:
- requesting a graphic including a keyboard from a client, wherein said graphic is generated at a server coupled to said client via said network;
- capturing a sequence of character coordinates using a cursor control coupled to said client;
- forwarding said sequence of character coordinates to said server;
- and
- authenticating said user using said sequence of character coordinates.
