Abstract:
1. A data security gateway system, comprising: a user interface displayable on a device including a touchscreen; a processor; and a storage device; wherein the processor is configured to generate the user interface comprising a mechanical combination lock simulation comprising one or more simulated rotating elements, each simulated rotating element having one or more selectable positions spaced apart about a geometry of the rotating element, the user interface being displayable to a user of the device and operable by the user engaging the touchscreen to manipulate the user interface and enter a gateway combination comprising respective data of respective simulated rotating elements; identify a simulated rotating element having a position that is misaligned following manipulation of the simulated rotating element by the user, resolve the misalignment by determining a proper position of the misaligned simulated rotating element and data associated with the determined proper position, and execute a comparison of the entered gateway combination including the determined data with at least one value stored upon the storage device, to determine whether access to further information shall be granted or not.
