Patent number: 8261087Abstract: The DigiPass for the Web provides security for internet communication greater than that achieved by the use of a static password without requiring the user to install any software or to possess or use dedicated hardware of any kind. The user merely access an appropriate website which downloads an applet to the user's browser. This is a conventional function which is handled by the browser and does not require any expertise on the part of the user. The browser relies on a password known only to the user for authenticating the user to the browser/applet. The browser/applet interacts with the server to create an authentication key which is then stored on the user's computer. The user can invoke the authentication key dependent on the user's presentation to the browser/applet of the password. Since the password is not used outside the user-browser/applet interaction it is not subject to attacks by hackers.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Vasco Data Security, Inc.Inventors: Nicolas Fort, Benoit Grangé

Patent number: 8214888Abstract: The present patent application discloses a USB token that advantageously mimics a human interface device such as a keyboard in interacting with a host computer, thus removing the need for pre-installation of a dedicated device driver. This is accomplished by requiring the host computer to direct the input of the attached human interface devices of the keyboard type, including the USB token, exclusively to the program interacting with the USB token, by using cryptographic algorithms based on a shared secret, which require less data to be transferred than PKI-based algorithms, and by employing an efficient encoding scheme that minimizes the time needed to exchange information with the USB token, and minimizes the probability of generating ambiguity with input that might legitimately be generated by other attached human interface devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Vasco Data Security, Inc.Inventors: Frederik Noe, Frank Hoornaert, Dirk Marien, Nicolas Fort

Publication number: 20090210712Abstract: Problem The combination of a tendency towards permissivity when verifying certificate authenticity and the use of in-band client authentication opens up an opportunity for attackers to mount man-in-the-middle attacks on SSL connections. Solution The invention exposes any discrepancy between the intended recipient of the client credential and the actual recipient of the client credential by cryptographically including parameters that are uniquely linked to the channel (i.e., the communication session, as characterized by the parameters of the protocols that are being used), preferably the channel end points, in the calculation of the client credential. This links the process that provides the secure channel (e.g., the SSL protocol session) to the process that provides the authentication credential (e.g., the OTP token operation), thus exposing any attack that would break up the client-server channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2008Publication date: August 20, 2009Inventor: Nicolas Fort
