Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system for authenticating an end user. A selected subset of root nodes of a set of root nodes in a server mask is received, the selected subset of root nodes having been selected by the end user. In response to the receiving of the selected subset of root nodes, the end user is authenticated by determining that a spatial location in the server mask of each root node of the selected subset of root nodes matches a spatial position of a corresponding root node of a server set of transparent root nodes in the server mask, wherein the server set of transparent root nodes are a result of a first random selection of root nodes from the set of root nodes in the server mask.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for authenticating an end user, said method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor, a selected subset of root nodes of a set of root nodes in a server mask, said selected subset of root nodes having been selected by the end user; and in response to said receiving the selected subset of root nodes, said processor authenticating the end user by ascertaining that a spatial location in the server mask of each root node of the selected subset of r…
