Password Predicament
Few people can recall more than several unique passwords due to the cognitive phenomenon called “Interference of Memory”.
The password predicament can be largely mitigated by our Expanded Password System (EPS) that accepts images as well as conventional characters.
Kill the password
dead!
Death to password!

What is EPS?
3
There are several known pictures in the
matrix
I can easily find all of them right away
Only I can select all of them correctly
Both images and characters accepted, I now have broader choices.
Why EPS?
Multi-factor authentications? - Dependent on a password as one of
the factors !
Biometrics?- Dependent on a password in
case of false rejection !
ID federations? - Dependent on master-
password !

World with passwords killed dead?- Life with no safe sleep !
EPS is unique in that it enables users to make use of “episodic/autobiographic” image memory that is the least susceptible to “interference of memory”

Too many competitions? Congested with many competitions are the domains AROUND the password, i.e., biometrics, two/multi-factor schemes and ID federations (single- sign-on services and password management tools), all of which depend on the use or combined-use of the password either for security or convenience.
No congestion is seen as yet IN the domain of the very successor to the head-aching character-based password. In this domain our Expanded Password System that accepts images as well as characters would be found outstanding as a pioneer.
Simple picture passwords including “emoji”-PIN and pattern-on-grid methods can be deployed on the EPS platform.

With EPS, what will be gained or lost?
Better security gained for users of password-managers and SSO services thanks to a more reliable master-password.
Even better security gained for users of two/multi-factor authentication schemes thanks to a more reliable password as one of the factors.
Less bad security gained for users of biometric product operated with a fallback password thanks to a more reliable fallback password.
Nothing lost for users who do not like the troubles of using images because they can keep using character-based passwords as before.
Lost is a small extra trouble of getting images registered.
What are our business models?Where?
PCs, Tablets, Phones, Wearables, Cloudsused Online & Offline, Indoor & Outdoor
What applications?For Stand-alone, ID federations, Two/Multi-factors, and With Biometrics

On Advisory Board will be Laurent Liscia, CEO of OASIS, with the message: "As the CEO of OASIS, a standards organization that has an established track record in identity management, security and privacy, I see the wisdom in the principles put forward by the Mnemonic Security team. Their approach may not be new-fangled or "hip", but it is rooted in a deep understanding of human needs in relation to security and authentication. The value proposition of their mnemonic software is quite clear in this ever-so-hot market, and I see potential in the consumer arena."
What are our past, present & future?
Past : Algorithm completed. Basic products line-up completed in Japanese. Intellectual assets secured. Experimental US$1million sales achieved in Japan.
Present : Planning to raise the fund to set up the headquarters in UK, re-write the software in English and re-launch the business operation from UK for the global markets.
Future : Set up the regional operation centres in USA , India and Singapore. Aiming to be floated at London Stock Exchange.
