Abstract
A system and method that provides the ability for users to select, create, and upload a collection of graphical images whereby a web site login process presents the user with an array of graphical images including the graphical images designated for an authentication pattern, the graphical image authentication system then determines that the graphical images chosen by the user are correct or incorrect without notifying the user until the process is complete.
Claims20
A method for gaining access to a secured area, the method comprising:
- receiving a first rule selected by the user, the first rule having one or more first solutions that are a part of an authentication sequence;
- the one or more first solutions selected by the user;
- generating one or more displays comprising the one or more first solutions;
- presenting a first display to the user;
- determining if a first selection from the first display is related to the authentication sequence associated with the user;
- presenting one or more additional displays to the user;
- determining if an additional selection on the one or more additional displays is related to the authentication sequence associated with the user;
- and
- granting access to the secured area.
The method of claim 5, wherein the slowing down is increased by addition, multiplication, or exponential power.
A system for gaining access to a secured area, the system comprising:
- a computing system having a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, wherein instructions are executed by the computing system to perform:
- maintaining a database, wherein a secured area is in communication with the database, wherein the database stores data associated with a user collected from a user computing device;
- receiving, one or more images from the user computing device for an authentication sequence, the authentication sequence comprising one or more designated images;
- associating the one or more designated images associated with the user computing device wherein the one or more designated images are stored with an identifier for the user in the database;
- generating one or more dynamic collections;
- creating an assortment of images on the one or more dynamic collections, the assortment of images comprising the one or more designated images from the user;
- presenting a first dynamic collection to the user displayed on the user computing device;
- obtaining a first image selected by the user on the user computing device;
- comparing, by a processor the first image selected by the user on the user computing device in the first dynamic collection to the authentication sequence associated with the user to determine if the selected first image is related to the authentication sequence associated with the user;
- presenting one or more additional dynamic collections to the user displayed on the user computing device;
- comparing, by the processor, an additional image selected by the user in each of the one or more additional dynamic collections to the authentication sequence associated with the user to determine if the selected additional image is related to the authentication sequence associated with the user;
- and
- determining if access to the secured area should be granted when a match from the comparison verifies the authenticity of a user's identity, wherein the system does not transmit a notification that any of the selected images in the first dynamic collection or the one or more additional dynamic collections were related to the authentication sequence or that any of the selected images in the first dynamic collection or the one or more additional dynamic collections were not related to the authentication sequence such that the user computing device does not present the user with any information that the user has initiated any steps in selecting a proper authentication image sequence until being granted access to the secured area.
