  • Patent number: 10205711
    Abstract: A strong authentication token supporting multiple instances associated with different users and protected by a user identity verification mechanism is disclosed. A multi-instance strong authentication token may be adapted to generate dynamic credentials using cryptographic secrets that are specific to a particular instance stored in the token. A method and a system to secure remotely accessible applications using strong authentication tokens supporting multiple instances are disclosed. A method for loading additional tokens into a multi-instance authentication token is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8667285
    Abstract: The invention provides a method, apparatus, computer readable medium and signal which allows the usage of devices containing PKI private keys such as PKI-enabled smart cards or USB sticks to authenticate users and to sign transactions. The authenticity of the user and/or the message is verified. Furthermore the operation (authentication and/or signing) occurs without the need for an application to have some kind of a direct or indirect digital connection with the device containing the private key. In addition the operation occurs without the need for the PKI-enabled device containing the private key (e.g. a PKI smart card or USB stick) to either support symmetric cryptographic operations or to have been personalized with some secret or confidential data element that can be read by a suitable reader.

  • Patent number: 8347096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of strong authentication tokens and more specifically to methods and apparatus employing cryptographic key establishment protocols for such strong authentication tokens. An apparatus comprising storage for a secret key, said secret key for use in the generation of cryptographic values, and a cryptographic agent for generating said cryptographic values using said secret key, selects one of a predetermined set of key transformations in an unpredictable way and applies said selected key transformation to said secret key prior to generating one of said cryptographic values.

  • Patent number: 8302167
    Abstract: The invention defines a strong authentication token that remedies a vulnerability to a certain type of social engineering attacks, by authenticating the server or messages purporting to come from the server prior to generating a one-time password or transaction signature; and, in the case of the generation of a transaction signature, signing not only transaction values but also transaction context information and, prior to generating said transaction signature, presenting said transaction values and transaction context information to the user for the user to review and approve using trustworthy output and input means. It furthermore offers this authentication and review functionality without sacrificing user convenience or cost efficiency, by judiciously coding the transaction data to be signed, thus reducing the transmission size of information that has to be exchanged over the token's trustworthy interfaces.
