dear sir - --- about me - -------------- i am arun balaji i am 21 years old and i am from india. - -------- where the idea came from - -------------------- i and a friend( mark herbert- www.niimki.com) of mine from us developed a data authentication method for use in credit card transactions as a payment gateway. my friend didnt want any money for this authentication system. but i wanted to give it a full shot and i got a us provisional patent in july of this year. now after a lot of thinking i have decided to make it open source. - --------------- the application- randover - -------------- its very very simple normally all that a hacker needs to know about a user is 3 or 4 fields of data 1st is user id 2nd is password what i and my friend were trying to do was use a field which can be universal and all pervasive.. that led to us thinking of using all the fields in the database we then thought what if we can ask a random question from all the fields in the database. this makes our system the worlds first user configurable security system for use in the web. its very simple easy to use and develop and can be used as a standalone system or along with existing applications see http://sourceforge.net/projects/randover/ and http://www.randover.com for more detailswould love to know about what you and the security community thinks of my idea as a whole.
