  • Publication number: 20140250514
    Abstract: Systems and methods to tell apart computers and humans using image recognition task having a dynamic graphical arrangement of randomly selected images. The images can be arranged as a grid or matrix for presentation on a device display for authentication of a user as human. The kinds of graphical images can be derived from a selected category for the image recognition task. A series of randomly generated access codes corresponding to the images can be displayed with the images. The user may enter the access codes corresponding to images from the selected category. An authentication server can compare the access code entry to an authentication reference code corresponding to the particular arrangement of images. The selection of images, their arrangement and their corresponding access codes, may dynamically change in between verification sessions.

  • Publication number: 20110047606
    Abstract: A system and method for managing a plurality of a user's authentication elements. In a preferred embodiment a user initiates a webpage browser session at a user website access device and activates a password manager program. The user's identity is authenticated to an authentication server and allowed to access a secure database comprising a plurality of website authentication elements. Thereafter, the user accesses a first secure website and the program determines the presence of a user authentication data field. When a user authentication data field is present the program instructs the authentication server to automatically transmit at least one of the authentication elements specific to the authentication data field of the first secure website to authenticate the user to the first website.

  • Publication number: 20100250937
    Abstract: A system and method for authorizing a user to a plurality of secure servers. Each server is adapted to store user information. The secure server receives a request for access to one of the plurality of secure servers from a first user device from a user possessing an authorized account identifier. An authentication server may intervene and request the user authenticate to the authentication server and transmit a client-side electronic lockbox stored at the first user device to the authentication server. The authentication server retrieves a key? corresponding to the received client-side lockbox and uses the key to decrypt an encrypted file contained within the lockbox. The decrypted file may contain authentication information that is forwarded to the secure server. The secure server grants the user access to the user's content stored thereon when the authentication information received from the authentication server corresponds to the authentication information stored at the secure server for the user.
