Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and method of dynamically authenticating a user of a communications system. Rapid growth in the areas of online commercial and banking transactions has necessitated the development of various methods of authenticating users of such systems while preventing identity theft.
- static single-factor authentication involves a user having some form of static login identification (ID) and static password.
- ID static login identification
- a browser on a local access device such as a personal computer
- a remote authentication device validates the login ID/password combination and, if valid, produces some sort of authentication signal.
- static single-factor authentication schemes have sever shortcomings and are most vulnerable to two types of attacks.
- the first type of attack to which static single-factor authentication is prone is known as "phishing".
- a malevolent third. party first sets up a website which is designed to look and function like a website in which a user would want to enter authentication information. Then, the third party lures the user to the forged website. This step is usually accomplished by sending an email to a user containing a link to the forged website and including a message designed to pressure the user to immediately take some form of action by login in to their account. The user then enters his or her static login ID and password in the forged website, thereby unwittingly providing their authentication information to the third party.
- the second type of attack to which static single-factor authentication is prone is known as "keyboard logging".
- This attack although more difficult to set into action, is considerably more effective than "phishing" in that it is virtually undetectable to even the most computer literate user.
- This type of attack sees a user unwittingly downloading a piece of "spyware" which is either bundled with another piece of software which the user intends to download or is distributed with a virus.
- Spyware is a piece of software that covertly gathers user information, such as keyboard strokes and information pertaining to websites which a user has visited, and periodically sends this information to a malevolent third party. Such information can then easily be cross- referenced in order to extract the authentication information of a user. 1
- Two-factor authentication has recently been developed in order to overcome the weaknesses associated with static single-factor authentication systems.
- the "smartcard” was the first of such systems to be developed and is currently being used in most countries in Europe. This system relies on the use of a card comprising a microprocessor which contains information needed to communicate with a smartcard reader. Once the smartcard reader has validated the card itself, a user enters a Personal Identification Number (PIN) into the reader and information is sent to a remote authentication device.
- PIN Personal Identification Number
- this solution is more secure than static single- factor authentication systems, smartcards do have considerable disadvantages. Firstly, smartcards necessitate the use of smartcard readers. This all but precludes the use of such a system with simple local access devices such as personal computers. Also, a user must remember a PIN number for each card in his or her possession.
- a solution to this problem is to for a user to have only one PIN for multiple smartcards. This solution, however, will see the user's PIN being employed in a much wider variety of circumstances, thereby exposing the PIN to more chances of being fraudulently used. If a card and its associated PIN is intercepted, they can freely be used by malevolent third parties.
- Another embodiment of a two-factor authentication system employs a user's biometrics to provide a second layer of authentication.
- biometrics For example, systems have been developed which employ the use of thumb print scanner to authenticate a user. These systems, although secure, are very expensive to implement and are therefore not currently deployed commercially. Also, in situations where a user is not supervised, it is possible to replicate thumb prints in order to contravene these systems. Thus, biometric-based systems don't lend themselves well to remote online authentication..
- a recent development in the art of user authentication has been the advent of dynamic two-factor authentication. These systems, currently thought to be the most secure of all economically viable options, are based on the use of tokens which pseudo-randomly generate codes.
- a remote authentication device authenticates the user based on a combination of a login ID, password and the current code which appears on the token. Thus, when a user requests authentication, a login ID is entered as well as the password and the current code which appears on the token.
- the present invention provid es a method of authenticating a user, the method comprises the steps of: sending an authentication request to a remote authentication device; generating a first piece of authentication information; receiving at a mobile device, the first piece of authentication information from either an access terminal or the remote authentication device; generating, within the mobile device of the user, a second piece of authentication information which is at least partially based on the received first piece of authentication information; sending the second piece of authentication information to the remote authentication device; validating the second piece of authentication information; and, if the second piece of authentication information is successfully validated, generating an authentication signal.

Description
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION
The present invention relates to a system and method of dynamically authenticating a user of a communications system. Rapid growth in the areas of online commercial and banking transactions has necessitated the development of various methods of authenticating users of such systems while preventing identity theft.
The vast majority of current online authentication methods use what is known as static single-factor authentication. This scheme involves a user having some form of static login identification (ID) and static password. Using a browser on a local access device such as a personal computer, a user initiates an authentication request with a remote authentication device by first entering a login ID and a password on a web page. The remote authentication device then validates the login ID/password combination and, if valid, produces some sort of authentication signal. Although simple to implement, static single-factor authentication schemes have sever shortcomings and are most vulnerable to two types of attacks.
The first type of attack to which static single-factor authentication is prone is known as "phishing". In this scenario, a malevolent third. party first sets up a website which is designed to look and function like a website in which a user would want to enter authentication information. Then, the third party lures the user to the forged website. This step is usually accomplished by sending an email to a user containing a link to the forged website and including a message designed to pressure the user to immediately take some form of action by login in to their account. The user then enters his or her static login ID and password in the forged website, thereby unwittingly providing their authentication information to the third party. The second type of attack to which static single-factor authentication is prone is known as "keyboard logging". This attack, although more difficult to set into action, is considerably more effective than "phishing" in that it is virtually undetectable to even the most computer literate user. This type of attack sees a user unwittingly downloading a piece of "spyware" which is either bundled with another piece of software which the user intends to download or is distributed with a virus. Spyware is a piece of software that covertly gathers user information, such as keyboard strokes and information pertaining to websites which a user has visited, and periodically sends this information to a malevolent third party. Such information can then easily be cross- referenced in order to extract the authentication information of a user.
1 Two-factor authentication has recently been developed in order to overcome the weaknesses associated with static single-factor authentication systems. The "smartcard" was the first of such systems to be developed and is currently being used in most countries in Europe. This system relies on the use of a card comprising a microprocessor which contains information needed to communicate with a smartcard reader. Once the smartcard reader has validated the card itself, a user enters a Personal Identification Number (PIN) into the reader and information is sent to a remote authentication device. Although this solution is more secure than static single- factor authentication systems, smartcards do have considerable disadvantages. Firstly, smartcards necessitate the use of smartcard readers. This all but precludes the use of such a system with simple local access devices such as personal computers. Also, a user must remember a PIN number for each card in his or her possession. A solution to this problem is to for a user to have only one PIN for multiple smartcards. This solution, however, will see the user's PIN being employed in a much wider variety of circumstances, thereby exposing the PIN to more chances of being fraudulently used. If a card and its associated PIN is intercepted, they can freely be used by malevolent third parties.
Another embodiment of a two-factor authentication system employs a user's biometrics to provide a second layer of authentication. For example, systems have been developed which employ the use of thumb print scanner to authenticate a user. These systems, although secure, are very expensive to implement and are therefore not currently deployed commercially. Also, in situations where a user is not supervised, it is possible to replicate thumb prints in order to contravene these systems. Thus, biometric-based systems don't lend themselves well to remote online authentication.. A recent development in the art of user authentication has been the advent of dynamic two-factor authentication. These systems, currently thought to be the most secure of all economically viable options, are based on the use of tokens which pseudo-randomly generate codes. Users of such systems are provided with their own token that usually takes the form of an electronic device which is small enough to be attached to a key ring. The electronic device uses an algorithm to pseudo-randomly produce a series codes which are displayed to the user. For example, a new code could be generated and presented to the user every 60 seconds. A remote authentication device authenticates the user based on a combination of a login ID, password and the current code which appears on the token. Thus, when a user requests authentication, a login ID is entered as well as the password and the current
code which appears on the token. However, these systems are still vulnerable to phishing in that a third party, once having captured a code via a forged website, could have up to 60 seconds to login to the real website or indeed authorise a fraudulent transaction using the login name, the password and the current code appearing on the token. Other disadvantages of this method of dynamic two-factor authentication is the need for the user to carry around a token for each institution with which he or she transacts, the bulkiness of the tokens themselves and the high costs involved in manufacturing the tokens. Because of this disadvantage, token-based dynamic two- factor authentication systems, although well known, are not suitable for wide-scale use. What is needed is an improved system for providing dynamic two-factor authentication.

Figure 8 is a diagram of one example of the present invention; and Figure 9 is a diagram representing a hardware token in accordance with one example of the present invention.
In reference to Figure 1 , the system of the present invention comprises at least one access terminal 4. The access terminal 4 can be a network connected computer, a Point of Sales (POS) terminal or any other networked device. The system further comprises a remote authentication device 3 such as a network server. Finally, the . system comprises at least one mobile device 2 such as a mobile telephone, pager or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Alternatively, the mobile device could be a dedicate piece of hardware.
According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a user 1 first makes an authentication request to the remote authentication device 3 via the access terminal 4. The authentication request is associated with a specific transaction which the user 1 wishes to perform. Such transactions can include operations related to banking services, transactions of a commercial nature, logon scenarios or any other transaction in which a user 1 , for any reason, would need to be authenticated. Alternatively, an authentication request can be sent to the remote authentication device 3 via the mobile device 2. The remote authentication device 3 then generates a message which is sent either directly to the mobile device 2, using a Short Message Service (SMS) a Multimedia Message Service (MMS) or via any other wireless data communication means (i.e. GPRS, 3G, etc.). In either case, the message is preferably encoded and encrypted and may include information relating to the transaction.
If the message is displayed to the user, the user 1 may then either input the message into the access terminal 4 in order for it to be sent to the remote authentication device 3 or send the message directly to the remote authentication device 3 using the mobile device 2. Alternatively, in another example of the present invention, the message may not be shown to the user 1 and be sent directly to the remote authentication device 3. In the example of a system where the second message is displayed to the user
1 , the user 1 must enter the second message into the access terminal 4 in order for the second message to be communicated to the remote authentication device 3. Once received by the remote authentication device 3, the second message is then validated. If the second message is successfully validated, an authentication signal is generated
and may be sent to the access terminal 4 indicating that the user 1 has been authenticated by the remote authentication device 3.
In the example of a system where the second message is automatically sent back to the remote authentication device 3, from the mobile device 2, the user 1 does not need to enter the message in the access terminal 4. As in the previous example, once received by the remote authentication device 3, the second message is then validated. If the second message is successfully validated, an authentication signal is sent to the access terminal 4 indicating that the user 1 has been authenticated by the remote authentication device 3. ' The second message may contain further authentication information. Such information could comprise biometric information such as a picture of the face of user or a thumb print which could be processed on either the mobile device or, alternatively, sent directly to the authentication server and processed and validated there. Another example of biometric data could consist of a recording of the users voice, again, for analysis and validation at the mobile device or at the authentication device.
In reference to Figure 2, a second embodiment of the present invention will now be described. When a user 1 wishes to be authenticated for the purposes of a specific transaction such as a banking or commercial transaction, the user 1 enters his personal information into an access terminal 4 (step S101). This information may be a user 1 name or an account name and a password. The access terminal 4 then sends the personal information of the user 1 to a remote authentication device 3 via a computer network (step 102) along with information pertaining to the specific transaction which the user 1 wishes to perform. The remote authentication device 3 then validates the user name or account name and password of the user 1. Now, in reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3, if the user 1 or account name and password are successfully validated, the remote authentication device 3 then produces a message which it encrypts and encodes in order to ensure reliable detection. The message may be partially based on a randomly generated code, such as an alphanumeric code as well as transactional information relating to the requested transaction (e.g. Transfer £100 from account A to account B). Adding transactional information provides a transaction signature that ensures transaction integrity against "man-in-the- middle" attacks such that attackers cannot change the content of the transaction without being detected, dissimilarly to systems relying only on dynamic passwords (e.g. tokens) which are not associated with any form of transaction information.
Finally, the encrypted and encoded message is embedded into a cover signal so that the original signal and modified signal are perceptually indistinguishable. The cover signal could be a sound signal or an image signal. The image signal can be a single image or a sequence of images forming a video signal. The encrypted and encoded signal can be embedded into a cover image signal using any known form of steganography or digital watermarking. Alternatively, the message could be encoded into a visual code where the code itself is the primary data object and no cover signal is used. One of several examples of this is the use of a barcode. Then, the modified signal is sent to the access terminal 4 (step S103). Now, in reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 and in the case where the modified signal is a digital image signal, the modified signal is displayed on the screen of the access terminal 4, so as to be in clear sight of the user 1. The user 1 then uses the camera on his or her mobile device 2 to capture the image from the access terminal 4 (step S104). Typically, the modified image will be sent to the access terminal byway of a computer network and displayed to the user by means of a web browser.
Alternatively, the modified image can be sent to the access terminal by way of email.
In another example of the invention, the modified signal could be sent to the access terminal and subsequently printed out on a piece of paper or any other media which would provide a visual representation of the signal. Alternatively, the modified signal could be sent to the user on a piece of paper in the form of, for example, a letter. Once the modified signal is captured, the mobile device 2 may authenticate the source of the image. Then, using software installed on the mobile device 2, the image is then processed in order to extract the encoded and encrypted message.
In the case where the modified signal is a digital sound signal, the modified signal is reproduced by the access terminal 4, so as to be audible by the user 1. The user 1 then uses a microphone on his or her mobile device 2 to capture the reproduced digital sound signal (step S 104). Using software installed on the mobile device 2, the sound is then processed in order to extract the encoded and encrypted message.
In either of the above cases, the extracted message is decoded and decrypted. The generated code and transactional information is then displayed to the user 1 (step 105). If the user 1 is satisfied as to the correctness of the transactional information, he or she may enter the resulting code into the access terminal 4 (step S106). The code is then sent to the remote authentication device 3 in order to be compared to the code which was originally generated in step S102. If the code matches the code which was originally generated, the user 1 is successfully authenticated. This can be done by, for
example, sending an authentication signal to a third party, such as a bank or an online . retailer or alternatively, sending an authentication signal to a local client operating on the access terminal 4.
Now, in reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6, a third embodiment of the present invention shall be described. In this embodiment, the user 1 enters personal information such as a user 1 name and password into the access terminal 4 (step S201). The personal information is then sent to the remote authentication device 3 via a computer network (step S202) along with details of the transaction which the user 1 intends to perform. Once received by the remote authentication device 3, the password and user name are validated and, if the validation process is successful, the information pertaining to the transaction is added to a randomly generated code and the resulting message is encrypted, encoded and interleaved. The resulting encrypted and encoded message can then be embedded into either an audible or visual cover signal. If the encrypted and encoded message is embedded into an image signal, any known form of steganography or digital watermarking can be used.
Alternatively, the message could be encoded into a visual code where the code ' itself is the primary data object and no cover signal is used. One of several examples of this is the use of a barcode. In both of the above cases, the modified signal is then sent to the access terminal 4 (step S203).
Now, in reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 and in the case where the modified signal is a digital image signal, the cover signal into which the encoded and encrypted message is embedded can be an image containing visual transactional information related to the transaction which has been requested by the user 1 (e.g. "£1 ,222 to ace. 42455434"). The image may be encrypted in order to be securely delivered to the access terminal. The modified signal is displayed on the screen of the access terminal 4, so as to be in clear sight of the user 1. The user 1 then uses the camera on his or her mobile device 2 to capture the image from the access terminal 4 (step S204). Using software installed on the mobile device 2, the image is then processed, in order to extract the encoded and encrypted message, which is displayed to the user 1. In an alternative embodiment, a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) installed in the mobile device could be used for all processing steps.
In the case where the modified signal is a digital audio signal, the cover signal into which the encoded and encrypted message is embedded can be an audio signal
containing audible transactional information such as a mechanised voice reading out the sentence "£1 ,222 to account 4255434". Then, the modified audio signal is reproduced by the access terminal 4, so as to be audible by the user 1. The user 1 then uses the microphone on his or her mobile device 2 to capture the reproduced 5 digital sound signal (step S204). Using software installed on the mobile device 2, the sound is then processed in order to extract the encoded and encrypted message, which is then reproduced so as to be audible to the user 1. Alternatively, the message could be presented to the user in text form.
Then, in both of the above cases, the user 1 of the mobile device 2 is given the
10 choice to either accept the transaction which is being described in the message or refuse it.
The software on the mobile device 2 decodes and decrypts the message, and, if the transaction is accepted by the user, signs the message before sending it to the remote authentication device 3. Alternatively, the software on the mobile device simply
15. digitally signs the message, without decoding and decrypting it, and then sends the signed message to the remote authentication device 3.
If the transaction is refused, the encoded and encrypted message is sent to the remote authentication device 3 without being digitally signed. Alternatively, the encrypted message could not be sent at all and the authentication device would have
20 a timeout function which would cancel any authentication request which took longer than a fixed period of time. The mobile device 2 can send the message to the remote authentication device 3 via any known form of mobile communication (e.g. SMS, MMS, or standard GPRS or 3G).
Other information specific to the mobile device (such as a network operator's
25 ID) could also be added to the signed message. In reference to Figure 8, one example of the present invention would see the authentication device 3 and the access terminal 4 being connected over the Internet or some other data-communication network. In this example, the authentication device 3 would use information contained in a Internet Protocol packet header to determine the Internet Protocol address of the access
30 terminal 4. Once this is done, the authentication device verify the location of the mobile device 2. Using this information, the authentication device 3 can determine the location of the geographic locations of both the mobile device 2 and the access terminal 4.
If the geographic locations of the mobile device 2 and the geographic location of the access terminal 4 are the same, the authentication device 3 will proceed with the
35 authentication method. However, if the geographic locations are different, the
authentication device 3 will not continue with the authentication process and the user will not be authenticated. In an alternative example, the authentication server will continue with the authentication of the user but will produce a geographic location failure notification signal which can then be used to alert a third party to the fact that the mobile device 2 appears to be in a different geographic location to that of the authentication device. The above geographic location match can be performed at any time before the user if successfully authenticated.
In another, simpler, example, the geographic location of the mobile device 2 alone can be determined and used for validation. This example of the invention would be particularly suited for application where certain online activity is restricted in specific geographic locations (e.g. online gambling in the United States).
Again, with reference to Figures 5 and 6, once the message is received by the authentication device 3, the signed message is decrypted, decoded and then validated. If the signed message is successfully validated by the remote authentication device 3, the user 1 is successfully authenticated. This can be done by, for example, sending an authentication signal to a third party, such as a bank or an online retailer or alternatively, sending an authentication signal to a local client operating on the access terminal 4.
In each embodiment of the present invention, the message which has been decoded and decrypted by the mobile device can be sent to the authentication device 3 any number of times over any period of time. For example, the present invention could be used to distribute a PIN code to a user so that the user could then send the PIN code to the authentication device 3 any number of times such that the user could be authenticated whenever he or she wished. Now, in reference to Figure 3, a possible distribution of security items of the authentication system according to the present invention will now be described. When interacting with an access terminal 4, a user 1 may use a personalised magnetic card or smartcard 5. The details of these cards could be registered with the remote authentication device 3 and could constitute, along with a password which would also be registered at the remote authentication device 3, the first authentication factor.
Security between the remote authentication device 3 and the mobile device 2 may be implemented in a variety of ways. One example is asymmetric cryptography where a public cryptographic key would be stored in the remote authentication device 3 and a private key would be stored in the mobile device 2.
: Furthermore, information relating to a specific Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the mobile device 2 could be stored on the remote authentication device 3 and used as a key to encrypt the randomly generated message.
Finally, the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of the mobile device 2 could be stored on the remote authentication device 3 and used as a key to encrypt the randomly generated message. Thus, only the mobile device 2 with that specific IMEI could decrypt the message.
Now, in reference to Figure 9, although the mobile device of the present can be a mobile phone, it can also be a dedicated hardware token which, for example, comprises a camera module 10 or other optical capturing means, a microcontroller 8 for processing the information input via camera module 10, memory means 9 and a display module 11 for display information to the user. The mobile device may also comprise a finger print scanner 7 for scanning at least a part of a user's finger print.
The finger print scanner can also be used as a trigger for actuating at least a part. of the mobile device.
