Appl. No.:

13/546130

Inventors:

Conor Robert White - Fairfax VA, US

Christopher Eric Holland - Fairfax VA, US

Assignee:

Daon Holdings Limited - George Town

International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 2, 726 7, 713155, 713168, 713169, 713170, 380229, 380261

Abstract:

A method for improving the security of secret authentication data during authentication transactions is provided that includes converting the secret authentication data of a user into scrambled secret authentication data by associating a different text-string with each item of information included in the secret authentication data. The method also includes capturing the scrambled secret authentication data with a communications device, and conducting an authentication transaction with the captured authentication data.

Christopher Eric HOLLAND - Fairfax VA, US
Conor Robert WHITE - Fairfax VA, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/20

US Classification:

726 6

Abstract:

A method for authenticating users over networks includes requesting a one-time password, entering a personal identification number into a communications device, and retrieving a replaceable shared secret stored in the communications device. Moreover, the method includes generating a hashed personal identification number from the entered personal identification number, combining the hashed personal identification number with the replaceable shared secret to generate a modified shared secret, and generating a one-time password with the modified shared secret and the time of requesting the one-time password.

International Classification:

G06F 21/24

US Classification:

726 28, 726 27

Abstract:

A method for replacing a shared secret over a network is provided that includes determining that a security breach could have occurred, determining that a shared secret of a user is to be replaced, and transmitting a renewal message to an authentication system requesting a new shared secret and an associated effective life for the user. Moreover, the method includes generating a new shared secret and an associated effective life at the authentication system for the user, and replacing the shared secret and associated effective life in an enrollment data record of the user with the new shared secret and associated effective life. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting the new shared secret and associated effective life to a communications device associated with the user, and replacing a shared secret and associated effective life stored in the communications device with the new shared secret and associated effective life.

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

726 28

Abstract:

A method for generating e-mail messages with increased security includes receiving an e-mail message at a control system. The e-mail message has recipients, a security level, control attributes, and e-mail message contents. Moreover, the method includes verifying the recipients at the control system, and storing the recipients, security level, control attributes, and e-mail message contents in the control system when each of the recipients is verified. Furthermore, the method includes generating modified e-mail messages from the e-mail message, transmitting each of the modified e-mail messages to a respective recipient, and capturing authentication data from one of the recipients when the one recipient indicates a desire to view the e-mail message contents with a communications device operated by the one recipient. When the one recipient is successfully authenticated, the method includes permitting the one recipient to view the e-mail message contents in accordance with the control attributes.

Inventors:

Christopher Eric HOLLAND - Fairfax VA, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/34
H04L 29/06
G06F 21/32

Abstract:

A method for authenticating users is provided that includes indicating, by a user, a desire to conduct a transaction. Moreover, the method includes monitoring, using a terminal device, for devices proximate the terminal device, and determining whether each device included in an authentication data requirement is included in proximate devices detected while monitoring for devices proximate the terminal device. Furthermore, the method includes successfully authenticating the user when each device included in the authentication data requirement is included in the detected proximate devices.
