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: A system for implicit authentication for a mobile device associated with a user, wherein the implicit authentication is behavioural, 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.

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: 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.
