Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for authenticating an end user. A login field is generated and sent to an end user, and a set of nodes is subsequently received from the end user. The login field includes first colored nodes having multiple colors distributed in a first random pattern. A transparent credit card controlled by the end user includes second colored nodes having multiple colors distributed in a second random pattern. An authenticity status of the end user is determined, and then sent to the end user, by determining whether each node of the set of nodes (i) corresponds to a unique node of the first colored nodes and (ii) has a same color determined by a function of a static integer and a dynamic integer D, wherein S and D are known only to the end user and the provider of the transparent credit card.
