A method includes receiving hashes of a static password and a lot-one authentication string from a user device of a user. After an initial validation, a first authentication matrix (AM) is generated. A block selection process is performed to select spurious and authentication blocks. While performing the block selection process, the first AM is replaced by a second AM, such that a first authentication block is selected from the first AM based on a first lot-two authentication string and a second authentication block is selected from the second AM based on a second lot-two authentication string. A dynamic password is generated by combining the static password, the lot-one authentication string, and the authentication blocks. A hash of the dynamic password is generated. In response to determining that the hash of the dynamic password matches a hash of a dynamic password stored in a user profile, the user is authenticated.

System and method for user authentication using a spinning authentication matrix

A method includes receiving a hash of a static password and a hash of a lot-one authentication string from a user device of a user. After an initial validation, an authentication matrix is generated. A block selection process is performed to select spurious and authentication blocks from the authentication matrix. The authentication blocks are selected based on a lot-two authentication string associated with the lot-one authentication string. In response to determining that the spurious and authentication blocks are selected according to a block selection sequence stored in a user profile of the user, a dynamic password is generated by combining the static password, the lot-one authentication string, and the authentication blocks. A hash of the dynamic password is generated. In response to determining that the hash of the dynamic password matches a hash of a dynamic password that is stored in the user profile, the user is authenticated.
