摘要:
In one embodiment, a scheme is provided for securing a personalized indicium assigned to a mobile communications device (116). Upon detecting at a network node (502) that an address associated with the mobile communications device (116) has changed, a challenge-and-response procedure (516, 518) is negotiated between the mobile communications device (116) and the network node (502) for authenticating the personalized indicium using a shared authentication key.

A mobile communications device may include a memory, a transceiver, and a controller coupled with the memory and the transceiver. The controller may be capable of receiving first authentication data from a security token via communication with the security token, where the first authentication data is associated with an account. The controller may also be capable of transmitting the first authentication data via the transceiver, and receiving second authentication data via the transceiver, where the second authentication data is also associated with the account. The controller may be further capable of storing the second authentication data in the memory, and transmitting a transaction request using the second authentication data.

Systems and methods for selecting a certificate for use in securing a message to be transmitted from a computing device is described herein. A set of certificates is determined and the certificates are ranked based on one or more predetermined ranking criteria. At least the highest ranking certificate is displayed, and a certificate is selected for securing the message.
摘要:
A computing device and computing device implemented method for setting a security level of the computing device. The method may comprise the computing device presenting a challenge to a user of the computing device. The challenge requiring the user to register a password with the computing device. The computing device may receive the password through a user input interface of the computing device in response to the challenge. The computing device may process the received password to calculate a password strength value and evaluate the password strength value to assign the security level. In an aspect, the security level may assign a higher security level when the password strength value is relatively high. In an aspect, the security level may allow for an expanded range of user selectable security options when the password strength value is relatively high.
摘要:
A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display and at least one of the modified base image and modified overlay image is moved by the user. In addition to the moving, a change in orientation of at least one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image is required. Positive authentication is indicated in response to the base image reference point on the modified base image being aligned with the overlay image reference point on the modified overlay image after moving through at least one other pre-selected reference point.

A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display. The modified overlay image comprises a plurality of numbers. At least one of the modified base image and modified overlay image is moved by the user. Positive authentication is indicated in response to the base image reference point on the modified base image being aligned, in sequence, with two or more numbers from the overlay image that equal a pre-selected algebraic result when one or more algebraic operator is apply to the numbers.

A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with a computer readable medium and a computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display and either the modified base image or modified overlay image is moved by the user. Positive authentication is indicated in response to alignment of a base image reference point and an overlay image reference point and an indication of a correct level of pressure applied to a pressure sensitive input device.
