ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed in the present application, devices and methods for providing identification of a client by his ability to select a correct set of digits from a multiplicity of them on any one of a plurality of grids each with a different order and arrangement of digits on a suitable surface. The client easily establishes his identity by selecting the correct digits from any randomly selected grid at the subscriber location by obtaining in advance, a password from which he determines the correct digits by their positions in all the grids. The accuracy of the client's answer is checked against a register listing, for each client, an independent identification number, and his password. The register also contains a list of correct digits or codes and the grid number for which each code is the appropriate answer. In addition, the present devices and methods may be used for identifying clients for check cashing and for this purpose, the grid may be displayed on the reverse side of a check and the grid identified in the register by check number.
