SecLookOn is a graphic procedure for authorizing and authentication, which is absolutely safe even in the case of somebody else "looking over your shoulder". The security process already begins in the head of the user. He creates a key, with which he is able to log on with a one-time code in the preferred system.

SecLookOn is comparable to a trivial situation taken from road traffic, namely crossing a road:

First of all you have to look left and right and according the situation you have to make the decision to cross the road or not. If a car comes from the left you have to stop, if a car comes from the right you can go to the midline, if cars are coming from both sides you have to stand still and if there are no cars you can cross the street. This means there are four different conditions which cause you to a decision.

This is exactly the way how SecLookOn works. If there appear one of two previously defined graphics, condition A follows, if the other appear, condition B follows, both graphics condition C appear and closing if none of the graphics appear condition D is addicted. Those conditions are linked associative by the user to other graphics with form, color or pattern and position. These associative graphics are overlaid by a happenstance number. The user makes the decision, which condition is present and types in the analogical number.

So the user only remembers two pictures and four conditions.

Create a personal key

The user creates with the help of two pictures and chosen characteristics a personal key.

• Color of form
• Color of number
• Color of background
• Shape of symbols
• Pattern of background
• etc.,...

The user has chosen in our example following pictures and characteristics:

• part one: you'll find the pictures which must be recognized.
• part two: the frame with any kind of symbols which contain the numbers

In a second step a group of always six personal solution fields in a row is selected, where the user finally finds his own relevant pictures. The user selects these out of the whole field. All other pictures and symbols are irrelevant.

The key is created!

Application of the key

This is a SecLookOn mask with the just created key according to the steps mentioned above. It is possible that there is in fact more than one picture with flowers and mountains, but that does not have any relevance, unless they are located in the pre defined solution fields.

None of the pictures are located in the pre defined relevant fields in this mask. This means, you search for the symbol hexagon - the correct solution is "5".

Now let's add stenography. Stenography is the state of the art of hidden storing or transmitting of information. An intruder sees the information, but can't recognize anything. (see Wikipedia)
