Psycho-metric authentication method

摘要

The method involves using polyads (1) which are stored on a data carrier and which consist of a first number of elements (AE) and a second number of elements (ae) of user-specific term associations and characters or numbers, whereby one or more authentication criterion is formed from the numbers. The association elements are put into a regular order during initialization, by which the authentication criterion is formed. Each association element is combined with a respective number and shuffled into an irregular, arbitrary order by which they are stored. The original regular arrangement of the numbers is reconstructed during authentication through associating the elements in the irregular order, and the authentication criterion is formed again.
