System and method for user authentication interface
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface for display by a data processing system, the data processing system including a display and one or more user input devices, comprising:
- a graphical input construct adapted for display to a user to support entry of a pattern, the pattern comprising a data field having field contents, the field contents in the data field comprising a set of storage units having more than one member, wherein said storage units represent one or more of alpha-numeric characters, images and colors;
said input construct including a graphical field for user entry of said storage units, in which upon entry by a user of one of said storage units, a corresponding icon is displayed in the graphical field.

Abstract
A graphical user interface supports an interactive client-server authentication based on Random Partial Pattern Recognition algorithm (RPPR). In RPPR, an ordered set of data fields is stored for a client to be authenticated in secure memory on the server side. A graphical user interface presents a clue generated at the server to the client, such positions in the ordered set of a random subset of data fields from the ordered set. The client enters input data in multiple fields of the interface according to the clue, and the server accepts the input data from the client. The input data includes storage units representing alpha-numeric characters, images and colors corresponding to the field contents for the data fields. The interface includes indicators for elapsed time and status of the authentication session.

13. A graphical user interface supporting a login session by a user having a user name and a user authentication pattern for accessing protected network resources, the graphical user interface for display by a data processing system, the data processing system including a display and one or more user input devices, comprising:
-
a graphical input construct adapted for display to a user to support entry of the user name and said user authentication pattern, said user name and said user authentication pattern comprising respective data fields having field contents, the field contents in the data fields comprising a set of storage units having more than one member, wherein said storage units represent one or more of alpha-numeric characters, images and colors; and
said input construct including a graphical field including a first graphical window for user entry of storage units representing said user name and a second graphical window for user entry of storage units representing said user authentication pattern, in which upon entry by a user of one of said storage units, a corresponding icon is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A graphical user interface supporting a login session by a user having a user authentication pattern for access protected network resources, the graphical user interface for display by a data processing system, the data processing system including a display and one or more user input devices, comprising:
-
a graphical input construct adapted for display to a user to support entry of said user authentication pattern, said user authentication pattern including a random subset of data fields from an ordered set of data fields, said data fields in said random subset having field contents, the field contents in the data fields comprising a set of storage units having more than one member, wherein said storage units represent one or more of alpha-numeric characters, images and colors;
said input construct including a graphical field including a plurality of graphical windows for user entry of storage units representing respective data fields in said user authentication pattern, in which upon entry by a user of one of said storage units, a corresponding icon is displayed, and a field indicating a clue to a user indicating which fields in said ordered set comprise said random subset. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method for interactive authentication of a user, comprising:
-
presenting a graphical user interface to the user, the graphical user interface prompting the user to enter a user authentication pattern comprising at least one data field with data entry fields, the data fields having field contents comprising a set of storage units having more than one member;
accepting user input of storage units in said data entry fields, the storage units representing more than one of alpha-numeric characters, images and colors; and
displaying icons corresponding to the storage units input by the user in the data entry fields. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
