20080222417	Method, System, And Apparatus For Nested Security Access/Authentication With Media Initiation - The disclosure details a nested security access system that manages access points/verification requests to create a series of layered security applications for securing access/user identification data. The NSA system works in coordination with an access point/verification module to generate a series of instructions as a login/verification module that may be executed locally. The login/verification module is executed by the access point/verification module to create a system user access/verification data entry form. Depending on the implementation, the access point/verification module may be configured to accept typed text or clicked image access/verification data, token access/verification data or selected image sequence access/verification data. The process of selected image sequence access involves the system user selecting a series of images that represent individual elements of a password without having to type the information into a data entry form.	09-11-2008
