randover validates users and data .
practical example of randover-
-credit card authentication
-user authentication
-logins
-and more
imagine bering able to authenticate the user where the user has the
control over the login process
randover stands for (rando)m (ver)ification of user data
so randover authenticates the user via a random question.
the process is like this
step1. user registers on the site
step2. user login
-user is asked a random question.
if answer is correct he is logged in.
if answer is wrong he is not logged in.
its just 10 lines of code that can change the way user logs into the system.
it can be used alone or integrated with existing systems
its a algorithm for user security.
What are you telling? If it is a random question, the answer is also
random and it accepts everyone.
Cryptography and related fields are very tough. It requires good
understanding and peer review.
Pls look into www.counterpane.com or cryptogram newletter fame and
author of many good security books Bruce Schiener articles.
There are no silver bullets man.
