Title: Pin authentication using variable input matrix
Inventor: DUKE DAVID JOHN
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 2007-05-16
Abstract: A password entry system (which may use an oblong matrix) of characters, which are then moved around for subsequent entry. This password entry system is designed to prevent third parties from stealing personal identification numbers (PIN) when they are entered in plain view. This can protect passwords entered on computer systems or over the internet where keys, screens and mouse data are recorded, using multiple matrix dimensions (e.g. 3D) and techniques to avoid the identification or regeneration of the data by a third party. The character matrix may be surrounded by row selection buttons, which are used to select the row in which the characters of the password exist, in the order in which they appear in the password. Because the computer knows your password which may be linked to your user name, device, or biometrics, it can filter out the other letters that have been selected and confirm whether or not your password is valid.
