Abstract: A system for authentication for a user device associated with a user, said system comprising: a processing system to generate a first user interface running on a screen of said user device, said first user interface comprising one or more components, wherein said one or more components comprises a first icon, which when activated, directs a user to a second user interface to select a secret pattern, a second icon, which when activated, generates a current randomly populated keyboard, further wherein said processing system provides a current Personal Identification Number (PIN) to said user by correlating said secret pattern with the current randomly populated keyboard, and a regular keyboard for said user to enter a PIN for authentication.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a user using a user device connected to a communications network, the method comprising an implicit phase, wherein said implicit phase comprises performing at least one task within a workflow, said at least one task necessary to move forward within said workflow; storing information associated with said performing of at least one task; comparing said stored information with a stored user profile; and determining whether said authentication of said user is successful or unsuccessful based on said comparing.

Abstract: A system for implicit authentication for a mobile device associated with a user, wherein the implicit authentication is behavioral, biometric and task-based and includes at least one authentication task selected so as to leverage the user's muscle memory. The mobile device comprises a touchscreen; a transaction authentication information unit; one or more sensors coupled to the transaction authentication information unit; and an anomaly detector coupled to the transaction authentication information unit. The sensors comprise one or more touchscreen sensors coupled to the touchscreen, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope, and are used to obtain and transmit one or more sets of data to the transaction authentication information unit. The sets of data are associated with one or more performances of the authentication task by the user. The anomaly detector generates an authentication model using the one or more data sets transmitted to the transaction authentication information unit.

Abstract: An authentication method for use in a device and comprises monitoring a program behavior stream comprising a plurality of program observables that comprises a program observable. The method records the program observable and matches the recorded first program observable to a program model selected from a plurality of program models stored within a program store. A user model is selected from a plurality of user models stored within a user store corresponding to the program model. A user behavior stream corresponding to the program observable is monitored and a user observable contained in the user behavior stream is recorded. The user observable is correlated to the user model and an authentication state associated with the device is determined based on the correlating.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of authenticating a transaction, the method having: responsive to receiving a request for authenticating a transaction involving a first device and including first device information defining at least one first device characteristic of the first device, obtaining second device information defining at least one second device characteristic of a second device associated with the transaction; determining a level of correlation between the first device information and the second device information; and authenticating the transaction based on the level of correlation between the first device information and the second device information, wherein the transaction is authenticated when the level of correlation between the first device information and the second device information is above a pre-determined threshold.
