Abstract:
An authentication system is provided using one-time passwords (OTPs) for user authentication. An OTP key may be stored on a different device than the device on which the OTP is generated. In an embodiment, the system described herein enables a combined authentication system, including the two separate devices communicating over a non-contact interface, to provide advantageous security features compared to the use of a single device, such as a hardware OTP token. One device may be a personal security device and the other device may be a reader device coupled to a host device via which access is being controlled.
Abstract:
A smart tag and methods of interacting with and authenticating interactions with the same are provided. The smart tag (308) is enabled to generate a Tag Authentication Cryptogram (TAC) and include the TAC in response (S303) to a read request (S301). Accordingly, each response generated by the smart tag (308) will include a different TAC. It follows that interactions between the smart tag (308) and a reading device (304) can be authenticated as unique interactions if the TAC is validated as a unique and correct TAC.
Abstract:
Providing virtualized credentials of a license holder includes authorizing a subset of credential data to be sent to a device of a relying party that is different from the license holder, where the subset of credential data depends on a role of the relying party and/or contextual data of the relying party and includes displaying the subset of credential data on a screen of the device of the relying party. The credential data may correspond to a license of the license holder. The license may be a driver's license. The credential data may include insurance information of the license holder. The contextual data may be a geolocation of the relying party. The device of the relying party may be a laptop, a cellphone, or a tablet. The credential data may be provided by a device of the license holder.
Abstract:
Managing access by a user includes requesting an access code from an external server, the external server providing the access code to the user only if the user is authorized for access, the access code being provided to an input unit, and the user being granted access by a security component if the access code is valid. The input unit may be a keypad. The access code may be provided using RF communication, such as NFC, Bluetooth, and/or Bluetooth Smart. The device may request the access code from the external server. The device may be a mobile device. Managing access by a user may also include the user entering a PIN in addition to the access code. The pin may be entered by the user's device. The access may be to a physical area and the user may be granted access by having a door open.
