Authentication method, authentication device, and recording medium
First Claim
1. An authentication method performed by an authentication device to authenticate a user, the authentication method comprising:
- an authentication-use image generating step of generating an authentication-use image comprising authentication-use information corresponding to an image expressing one or more characters and/or symbols which is provided on a background, wherein an edge formed by a difference in image density does not exist between the background and the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols;
an authentication-use image presenting step of presenting, to the user, the authentication-use image generated at the authentication-use image generating step; and
an authentication step of performing authentication by comparing character and/or symbol information input by the user based on the authentication-use image presented at the authentication-use image presenting step, with the characters and/or the symbols in the authentication-use image.

Abstract
An authentication method performed by an authentication device to authenticate a user includes an authentication-use image generating step of generating an authentication-use image including authentication-use information corresponding to an image expressing one or more characters and/or symbols which is provided on a background, wherein an edge formed by a difference in image density does not exist between the background and the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols; an authentication-use image presenting step of presenting, to the user, the authentication-use image generated at the authentication-use image generating step; and an authentication step of performing authentication by comparing character and/or symbol information input by the user based on the authentication-use image presented at the authentication-use image presenting step, with the characters and/or the symbols in the authentication-use image.

9. An authentication method performed by an authentication device to authenticate a user, the authentication method comprising:
-
an authentication-use video generating step of generating an authentication-use video comprising authentication-use information corresponding to an image expressing one or more characters and/or symbols constituted by a second texture which is provided on a background constituted by a first texture, wherein a positional relationship between the background and the authentication-use information changes with time; an authentication-use video presenting step of presenting, to the user, the authentication-use video generated at the authentication-use video generating step; and an authentication step of performing authentication by comparing character and/or symbol information input by the user based on the authentication-use video presented at the authentication-use video presenting step, with the characters and/or the symbols in the authentication-use video. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. An authentication device for authenticating a user, the authentication device comprising:
-
an authentication-use image/video generating unit configured to generate any one of an authentication-use image comprising authentication-use information corresponding to an image expressing one or more characters and/or symbols which is provided on a background, wherein an edge formed by a difference in image density does not exist between the background and the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols, the authentication-use image wherein the background is constituted by a first texture and the authentication-use information corresponding to the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols is constituted by a second texture that is different from the first texture, the authentication-use image corresponding to a stereogram image in which the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols is embedded, the authentication-use image wherein in the image expressing the characters and/or the symbols, each of the characters and/or the symbols is constituted by plural characters and/or symbols, and an authentication-use video comprising the authentication-use information corresponding to the image expressing the characters and/or symbols constituted by the second texture which is provided on the background constituted by the first texture, wherein a positional relationship between the background and the authentication-use information changes with time; an authentication-use image/video presenting unit configured to present, to the user, the authentication-use image or the authentication-use video generated by the authentication-use image/video generating unit; and an authentication unit configured to perform authentication by comparing character and/or symbol information input by the user based on the authentication-use image or the authentication-use video presented by the authentication-use image/video presenting unit, with the characters and/or the symbols in the authentication-use image or the authentication-use video.
