    Abstract: Software comprised of three components which work together to authenticate a user when he attempts to remotely access the website of a financial institution using his personal computer. The software gathers and saves a set of informational statistics (SOIS) relative to the user's personal computer. Later, when the user attempts to access the financial institution's website, the software sends a series of informational inquires to the user's personal computer. These informational inquires seek statistical informational relative to the user's personal computer preferably comprised of a random subset of the SOIS. The software gathers the information needed to respond to the series of inquiries and the responses are compared with the SOIS information previously stored. Based upon this comparison, the software sends a message to the financial institution advising of the relative certainty that the user is authentic.
