A Scheme to Passcode Generation

A passcode is a password usually used to receive permission to access a system. It is a combination of 4 or 6 digits or alphanumerics. Generating a passcode may be done by simply guessing the combination using, for instance, a birthdate, street address, pet’s name. The said approach is straightforward and easy to memorize. This study uses the procedures for generating a passcode by gene encoding. Gene encoding is a framework of a synthetic community that they mingle around, get married, and have children. The data of who is who and whose offspring it is are the critical data that lead to a passcode creation. We use a set of information in the form of thumbprints belong to ten participants. There was a balanced ratio between male and female participants whose age range from 20 to 26 years old. All participants have had no thumbprint trauma. The data was gene encoded. It has created a new community of families of two parents and a child. The child’s personality becomes the basis for the passcode generation. The developed passcodes relate the owner’s biographic and biometric data. The results suggest that the outcomes of the algorithm able to produce the strongest to the weakest passcodes. The method has its strength in giving solutions from selective procedures. It is the artist’s total control on how the algorithm would run the processes. Therefore, the steps in constructing the codes discussed in this work are mere guidelines for generating passcodes.
