To each square (402) in the table (401) to be presented to the user, a two-digit number generated randomly is assigned. The table (401) is presented to the user, who arranges the numbers in the squares (402) on the basis of the user's own rule to generate a six-digit numbers and makes them authenticated as the one-time password. Therefore, the rule of obtaining one-time password is easy for the user to memorize and a long one-time password can be obtained.</p> |
