Patent ID: 7765587

Claim:
A method for glyphword-based security, the method comprising: establishing, by a glyphword-based security module comprising a module of automated computing machinery, a glyphword comprising a plurality of glyphs; and creating, by the glyphword-based security module, a plurality of glyphsheets wherein each glyphsheet includes one or more glyphs included in the established glyphword and one or more glyphs not included in the established glyphword; and for each glyphsheet: presenting by the glyphword-based security module to a user the glyphsheet; receiving by the glyphword-based security module from the user at least one selection of a glyph included in the glyphsheet; determining, by the glyphword-based security module, whether the glyphsheet is the last glyphsheet if the glyph selected by the user is not included in the glyphs of the glyphword; providing, by the glyphword-based security module, access to a resource if the glyphsheet is the last glyphsheet; and denying access to a resource if any of the glyphs selected by the user are included in the plurality of glyphs of the glyphword.
