  • Patent number: 9411948
    Abstract: A first cryptographic device is configured to generate a passcode for submission to a second authentication device. The second authentication device determines a particular type of shuffling to be applied to a passcode in conjunction with submission of that passcode for authentication, and verifies that the passcode has been entered in accordance with the particular type of shuffling. The first cryptographic device may comprise an authentication token and the second cryptographic device may comprise at least one authentication server. By way of example, the second cryptographic device may generate a shuffle indicator signal specifying the particular type of shuffling, such that the shuffle indicator signal can be transmitted and thereby made apparent to a user associated with the first cryptographic device. The user then alters his or her manner of entry of the passcode based on the received shuffle indicator signal, such as entering the passcode in a reverse order.

  • Patent number: 9344870
    Abstract: A method for timer continuation in a power reset scenario by an in-vehicle system is described. The method includes beginning a power reset. The method also includes determining whether a timer associated with an emergency call (e.g., eCall) was running before the power reset. The method further includes continuing timer use if the timer was running before the power reset. The method additionally includes registering the in-vehicle system on a network if the timer was running before the power reset.

  • Patent number: 8955069
    Abstract: Event-based biometric authentication is provided using a mobile device of a user. A user attempting to access a protected resource is authenticated by receiving a request to access the protected resource; collecting biometric information from the user in response to the request using a mobile device of the user; performing biometric authentication of the user using the collected biometric information; and granting access to the protected resource based on the biometric authentication. The authentication optionally comprises an event-based authentication. The mobile device does not have to contain token generating material.

  • Patent number: 8752145
    Abstract: An improved authentication technique employs a user's mobile device to obtain a picture of the user from which facial geometry is extracted and applied as part of an authentication operation of the user to the remote network. In some examples, a server stores facial geometry for different users along with associated PINs. By matching facial geometry of the user with facial geometry on the server, the user's PIN can be obtained, without the user ever having to register or remember the PIN.
