Abstract: Static security credentials are replaced by pseudonyms and session-specific passwords to increase security associated with user login attempts, and specifically to defeat keylogging attacks. For each login event, the system generates unique, session-specific credentials by randomly replacing characters within a given username and password. The random character generation ensures that system login attempts use different combinations of characters, thereby producing a new username and password for every user session. The client side of the system requires only the capability to display an image file, with specialized software/hardware limited to the server side, thereby facilitating the use of the system by a wide range of client devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for matching equivalent words across languages takes advantage of a set of rules that are built from a user-defined language specification (UDLS), which may be open source and customizable by a language expert. The UDLS is used to build a customer language library (CLL) that includes a list of consonants, a list of vowels, and rules defining phoneme equivalencies across two languages. The CLL is used to match equivalent words by both two-set and three-set matching to not only increase the number of true matches (i.e., overall accuracy), but also improve recognition of variations in a manner that is not language specific.
