Abstract
A method and system for electronic access security uses touches and movements on a touch sensitive surface to determine graphical passcode that are used in a manner similar to passwords. Graphical passcodes comprise various combinations of swipes, taps or drags on a touchscreen surface as defined by a user. A user's selected graphical passcode is stored in memory for comparison to subsequent entries of graphical passcode in order to authenticate the users. An envelope may be generated to define a range of acceptable pressure, speed, coordinate positions or other parameters, as a function of time or position, required for passcode authentication. The envelope may be stored in a computer memory and is used to authenticate a user by determine whether an entered graphical passcode falls within the envelope.
