Anti-peep password input method

Abstract

The invention provides an anti-peep password input method, which comprises the steps of: displaying a symbolic array composed of a plurality of symbols; receiving a move instruction input by user andvarying the positions of the symbols in the symbolic array according to the move instruction; receiving a confirmation instruction input by user and confirming the symbolic array with the positions being varied; and identifying password. By utilizing the method provided by the invention, an operator sets the symbols in the symbolic array into a corrective array relation according to the prescription of a system during inputting the password, and as a lot of symbols are included in the symbolic array and a lot of groups of correctively-arrayed symbols probably exist, the bystander cannot judgein which group the password to be truly input is included; the operator has no need of 'touching' the password by selection approaches such as keyboard, mouse, finger and the like while inputting thepassword, thus reducing the possibility of revealing the password; and meanwhile, no modification can be applied to current application system during the implementation of the method, and the method can be implemented in an inputting manner on the level of the operating system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of information technology, in particular to a password input method applied to password input and identity verification. Background technique [0002] With the development of networking, informatization, and electronics in modern society, the use of information technology for office, transaction, shopping, entertainment and other applications presents a vigorous development trend, and information technology has penetrated into people's lives. Most information technology applications use preset passwords to verify user identities, and various viruses, Trojan horses, network sniffing, camera peeping and other means have brought great security problems to the traditional password input and verification methods, and have actually caused many problems. Large economic loss, which makes users have great concerns about password security when using information technology. It can be said that the security issues of password in...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The security of dynamic password technology is indeed improved compared with static passwords, but it increases the investment in terminal equipment, and the implementation cost is high. In addition, users need to use different terminal equipment in different applications, such as different banks have different tokens. , which will inevitably lead to users having a lot of small devices such as password cards or tokens, which are inconvenient to carry and difficult to manage

Moreover, although the dynamic password changes from time to time, it still needs to be input with a keyboard when using it. The means of stealing the static password can completely steal the dynamic password, so the dynamic password still has a chance of being stolen during the input process. Generally, it is valid within one minute. Stealing and using the dynamic password within this minute still poses a threat to the user's identity.

[0005] There is also a technology of entering passwords with eyes in foreign countries, which is input by watching the passwords with eyes, but the implementation cost is too high

[0006] Patent application 200910086723.7 proposes a method of password input and verification using a password symbol array with a movable position. In this method, the client device does not recognize the password, but sends the symbol array to the server, and the server recognizes and verifies the password. , this method needs to modify the client and server of the existing system at the same time, and is subject to certain restrictions in implementation
