20090165109CONTROLLED AND CLIENT-SIDE AUTHENTICATION MODULE - A computerized method of accessing a secure resource using an application associated with a user's computing device is provided. The application is programmed, in part, to monitor user browsing activity and wherein the application has associated therewith one or more predefined Uniform Resource Locaters (URLs) to trusted sites, each having an associated trusted root certificate and security key. The method includes the application detecting a user attempt to log into a secure resource, the application scanning in-process browser processes to identify a browser process that is in a login state, the application associating the browser process in a login state with one of the trusted sites, the application initiating a new browser session with the trusted site using the associated predefined URL, the application obtaining a login password from the user, the application supplying to the trusted site the associated security key and login password, and the user's computer displaying subsequent browsing activity.06-25-2009
20110060913OTP GENERATION USING A CAMOUFLAGED KEY - A system and method is provided for generating a one-time passcode (OTP) from a user device. The method includes providing a passcode application and a cardstring defined by a provider account to the user device. The passcode application is configured to generate a passcode configured as a user OTP for the provider account, using the cardstring. The cardstring is defined by at least one key camouflaged with a personal identification number (PIN). The key may be camouflaged by modifying and encrypting the modified key under the PIN. The key may be configured as a symmetric key, a secret, a seed, and a controlled datum. The cardstring may be an EMV cardstring; and the key may be a UDKA or UDKB. The cardstring may be an OTP cardstring, and the key may be a secret configurable to generate one of a HOTP, a TOTP, and a counter-based OTP.03-10-2011
20110113237KEY CAMOUFLAGING METHOD USING A MACHINE IDENTIFIER - A method is provided for generating a human readable passcode to an authorized user including providing a control access datum and a PIN, and generating a unique machine identifier for the user machine. The method further includes modifying the controlled access datum, encrypting the controlled access datum using the PIN and/or a unique machine identifier to camouflage the datum, and generating a passcode using the camouflaged datum and the PIN and/or the unique machine identifier. A mobile user device may be used to execute the method in one embodiment. The passcode may be used to obtain transaction authorization and/or access to a secured system or secured data. The unique machine identifier may be defined by a machine effective speed calibration derived from information collected from and unique to the user machine.05-12-2011

20090138944METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAMOUFLAGING OF DATA, INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMATIONS - A computer-representable object (including, without limitation, a cryptographic key, or a graph or a Boolean description of a system) is secured using a generalized camouflaging technique. The secured object need not be stored in the system, not even in encrypted form. Instead, the technique employs a composition function that regenerates the secured object when one inputs a valid password (which may be any computer-representable information held by a user). By regenerating the secured object each time a valid password is entered, there is no need to store the secured object. If one inputs an invalid password, the technique may generate an incorrect object, such that the user is unable to distinguish this incorrect object from the secured object. If the user tries to use the incorrect object, the user can be exposed as unauthorized, without the user's knowledge that he has been exposed.05-28-2009
