Abstract:
The submitted invention offers a method of authenticating the communication of an authentication device and at least one authentication server using a local factor with creation of secret information shared by the authentication device and the authentication server; the reference information is derived from the secret information shared by the authentication device and the authentication server, where the manner of derivation is the same on the authentication device and on the authentication server; furthermore, the authentication device creates transformed reference information by means of cryptographic transformation from the reference information, where the local factor chosen and entered by the user or obtained from a medium or from the surrounding environment is used as an input in this cryptographic transformation, and where only the transformed reference information is stored on the authentication device and only the reference information is stored on the authentication server.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of securing authentication in electronic communication between at least one user authentication means and at least one server authentication means, wherein primary authentication is performed in the first step, and during the primary authentication a secondary authentication secret is created and shared between the user authentication means and the server authentication means and is valid only for the given authentication transaction, and said secondary authentication secret is subsequently used as an input for a cryptographic transformation performed by the user authentication means separately on each authentication vector element while creating the first authentication vector product, wherein authentication vector (AV) is an ordered set of authentication vector elements (AVE)(i)), wherein the first authentication vector product is transferred from the user authentication means to the server authentication means and is evaluated by the server authentication means using the secondary authentication secret.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of establishing protected electronic communication, secure transfer and processing of information among three or more subjects in which, at first, a first secure authenticated channel is created using an authentication system between a first subject and a second subject, and this channel is used by the first subject, in co-operation with the second subject, to create an authentication object stored on the second subject and provided with authentication object methods, whereas the first subject configures methods of authentication object by assigning to each method of the authentication object a rights control information for at least one other subject and optionally also a rights control information for the first subject to use at least one method of the authentication object, and then the first secure authenticated channel is closed.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for mapping at least two authentication devices (101, 102, 103) to a user account using an authentication server (201, 202), where each authentication device (101, 102, 103) connects to the authentication server (201, 202) using a secured communication channel (12); their mapping to the user account is recorded on the authentication server (201, 202), and, when a transfer of data (11) between the authentication devices (101, 102, 103) mapped to the user account occurs, the data is passed over from the first authentication device (101, 102, 103) to the authentication server (201, 202) using a secured communication channel and from the authentication server (201, 202) to another authentication device (101, 102, 103) mapped to the account of said user using a secured communication channel (12), where the aforesaid secured communication channel (12) is created by the second authentication device (101, 102, 103). This procedure allows the use of a single personal local authentication factor for multiple authentication devices and increases the security of authentication of devices with authentication servers.
