  • Patent number: 9954578
    Abstract: It is presented a method, performed in a one time password, OTP, generating device. The OTP device comprises an NFC/RFID, Near Field Communication/Radio Frequency Identification, interface. The method comprises the steps of: upon the OTP generating device being inserted into the RF field, generating a new OTP code; formatting the OTP code into a static message; responding to interrogation requests from an RFID/NFC reader; and responding to read requests from the RFID/NFC reader with the OTP code being part of a message as if it were a static message, using standardized methods. A corresponding device OTP generating device is also presented.

  • Patent number: 9462470
    Abstract: The invention provides a low-cost access control device for identification and authentication in both the “digital” and “physical” worlds by contact-bound respectively contact-less interfaces and where individual users of the device can securely update access control credentials and cryptographic keys from a remote system without the need for any additional hardware or specialized software. The access control credentials and the at least one cryptographic key shall be readable by an access control system via the contact-less interface of the device, thereby enabling or denying the holder of the device access.

  • Patent number: 9122860
    Abstract: A device for identification and authentication of a remote user connecting to a service over a network includes a cryptographic processor and at least one cryptographic key and storage means, additional processing means and interface means to generate and transmit a unique authentication code as emulated keystrokes through a standard input, means of a client terminal. The code may be transmitted only by an explicit command of the user.
