Authenticator

What is authenticator?

• PasscodeView supports custom authentication methods for authenticating the user using PIN or pattern.
• An application can provide their own PIN or pattern authentication algorithms and hook it into the PinView or PatternView. In another case, the application can create authenticator to send PIN/Pattern entered by the user to the server for the authentication.

Types of authenticator:

• There are two types of authenticator interfaces.
  • PatternAuthenticator:
    • Pattern authenticator authenticates the pattern entered by the user in PatternView.
    • It provides the list of PatternPoint when the user draws pattern. The authenticator will authenticate the user based on those PatternPoint.
  • PinAuthenticator:
    • PIN authenticator authenticates the pattern entered by the user in PinView.
    • It provides the digits of the PIN. The authenticator will authenticate the user based on those digits.
