A security system that uses a cryptographic key derived from human interaction with media. The system employs a set of parameters that includes user responses to graphical media and/or audio data, among other parameters. The architecture adds a fourth dimension to the conventional authentication means in order to make at least an offline attack on the key much more difficult. In addition to a standard set of parameters such as password, salt (random bits inserted into the encryption process) and iteration count, the system further utilizes information in the form of "what the user does" by presenting and prompting the user to interact with media in some way. The media can include audio information, video information, and/or image information, for example. |
