Patent number: 10659465Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a server computer operable to provide a proof of knowledge service. In some embodiments, the server computer includes processor(s) and memory containing instructions executable by the processor(s) such that the server computer is operable to authenticate a user on behalf of a relying party server. The server computer is further operable to obtain results of one or more tests from a client device of the user. The server computer is further operable to send one or more instructions to the relying party server in accordance with the results of the one or more tests, where the one or more instructions have been predefined by the user and define one or more actions to be taken by the relying party server in an event where the user does not pass the one or more tests.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Antique Books, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Thibadeau, Sr., Justin D. Donnell, Robert Thibadeau, Jr.

Patent number: 9922188Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a device operable to process input for a picture password for proof of knowledge. In some embodiments, the device includes a display, an input subsystem, processor(s), and memory containing instructions executable by the processor(s) such that the device is operative to display, on the display of the device, an image for the picture password proof of knowledge. The image is associated with an overlaid grid comprising a plurality of elements, and each element corresponds to a distinct area of the image. The device is further operative to, determine an offset to be used and, in response to receiving an input via the input subsystem at a first location of the display, highlight an element of the overlaid grid at a second location on the first image on the display. The second location is offset from the first location by the offset.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Antique Books, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Thibadeau, Sr., Justin D. Donnell, Robert Thibadeau, Jr.

Patent number: 9866549Abstract: Antialiasing for picture passwords and other touch displays is disclosed. In some embodiments a client device for authenticating a user is operable to obtain a sequence of input actions for an image and obtain a partial hash from a Proof of Knowledge (PoK) server where the partial hash is part of a hash used for authentication of the user. The client device is also operable to calculate a hash for the sequence and determine if a part of the hash matches the partial hash. If the part of the hash matches the partial hash, the client device sends a communication to the PoK server to authenticate the user based on the hash for the sequence of the one or more input actions and obtain a response indicating whether the user is authenticated. In this way, sending some hashes to the proof of knowledge server may not be necessary, saving resources.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Antique Books, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Thibadeau, Sr., Justin D. Donnell, Robert Thibadeau, Jr.
