what my system provides is better level of fraud prevention and fraud detterent.


as in 99.99% of cases my system is unhackable as the complexity lies with the user and the admininstrator.

why stop with user id and password.

look at other levels of authentication.

lets go beyond user id and password and look at other uses for this authentication method


Umm.... I fail to see how this is different than simply having the user input an arbitrary amount of passwords (which is a really dumb idea anyway). With each question you add, there's an increas in the risk that the user will write down his answers/passwords and leave them lying around. That would even lessen security, not improve it.


Possibly you should rethink this. It's not really an earthshaking idea and I can't imagine anyone using it.

I think I understood your algorithm. What I pointed out was that it is
probably no better than just password protection in real world. What is
the real value addition of this method of yours in a real world
application?
