  • Patent number: 11516210
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user are provided. A method may comprise providing interactive media on a computing device associated with a user. The interactive media may comprise a plurality of images. The plurality of images may be presented on a graphical display of the computing device. The method may also comprise receiving input data from the computing device when the user selects a sequence of images from the plurality of images on the graphical display of the computing device. The selected sequence of images may correspond to a sequence of grammatical words. The method may further comprise analyzing the input data by comparing the sequence of grammatical words to a passcode, and authenticating the user when the sequence of grammatical words is equal to the passcode.

  • Publication number: 20220182369
    Abstract: Provided is a network-enabled method for creating an online account using a network of devices. The method comprises: receiving by an authentication system, a request to create an online account with an online server; generating a visual graphical code by the authentication system, which is displayed on a display screen and comprises a validation identity; acquiring image data of the visual graphical code from a user device with aid of optical detection apparatus, by capturing an image of the visual graphical code displayed on the display screen; processing the image data to extract the validation identity; based on the validation identity identifying an online serve provider associated with the online server and user information categories associated with the online account; and based on identification information related to the user identifying the user, and the data to the online server for the online account with the online server.

  • Publication number: 20220004616
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication with resistance to replay attacks are provided. A device may be used to capture image data of a physical token to authenticate or identify a user. Authentication information may be obtained by processing and analyzing the captured image data. Data about a state of the imaging device and the captured image data may be used for fraud detection. The data may be collected when the image data is processed and analyzed. The state of the imaging device and captured image data are unlikely to be repeated. The detected repetition of a state of the imaging device and captured image data may be a cause for increasing the likelihood that a replay attack is taking place. The device may be used to perform a transaction.

  • Publication number: 20210234893
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for verifying online communications. A sender and/or a recipient of an online communication can be a registered user of a verification system. Upon request by the sender and/or the recipient in relation to a particular instance of an online communication, the verification system can (1) confirm that the sender and/or the recipient is a registered user of the verification system, (2) verify that the sender and/or the recipient has sent and/or received, respectively, the particular instance of the online communication, and (3) communicate the verification of the particular instance of online communication to the sender and/or the recipient.

  • Patent number: 10601859
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting replay attacks may use one or more sensors to collect data about a state of a device. The device may be used to perform a transaction. The device may be used to authenticate or identify a user. The state of the device may pertain to a characteristic of the device position, movement, component, or may pertain to one or more environmental conditions around the device. The state of the device may be expected to change over time, and certain states are unlikely to be repeated. The detected repetition of a state of the device may be a cause for increasing the likelihood that a replay attack is taking place.

  • Publication number: 20190278893
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a user is provided. The authentication method may be a multi-factor authentication method based on a token device. A tactile stylus token device may be provided. One or more tactile styluses of the token device may be moved to create contact with a touch screen of a user device during authentication. The one or more tactile styluses may be driven to generate a sequence of touching events according to a passcode. The detected touching events may be compared with the original passcode to verify an identity of the user.
