Abstract:
1. An electronic transaction security method, comprising: registering with a server a characteristic outline shape for a matrix of colorgram cells that fill its interior and which can be selected by a first user, wherein such characteristic outline shape is configured to be recognizable in a subsequent electronic transaction involving said first user; encoding user data into each matrix of colorgram cells using a server function configured to manipulate the colors and positions of the cells and the overall characteristic outline shape; and pushing the matrix of colorgram cells in a selected characteristic outline shape as a graphic representation or image over a network to a second user's device as an authenticating, signing, or data encoding mechanism associated with the first user; wherein, the encoded data in the matrix of colorgram cells and its recognizable characteristic outline shape assist in securing and authenticating the users to one another via the server.
