A communication device, a communication system and an authentication system for preventing a disguising act by an illegal man-in-the-middle and improving the safety and certainty of authentication processing are provided. A slave (20) transmits an authentication request including device information to a master (10). The master (10) receives the authentication request and displays the device information included in the authentication request on a screen of a display section (13). The user visually checks the device information displayed on the screen of the display section 13 (13), determines whether or not to verify the authentication, and instructs the master (10) of the determination result via an input section (14). The master (10), instructed to verify or not to verify the authentication, transmits a response in accordance with the instruction to the slave (20).

Systems and methods are described for improved authentication of subscribers wishing to connect to a wireless network using the EAP-AKA protocol. Embodiments exploit the requirement that the client store and transmit the Pseudonym and Fast Re-authentication Identities upon request. By using the Fast Re-authentication Identity to store session state key information, the need for the AAA server to store and replicate the EAP-AKA key information for every session is eliminated.

A portable apparatus is removably and communicatively connectable to a network device to communicate authentication or authorization credentials of a user in connection with the user logging into or entering into a transaction with a network site. The apparatus includes a communications port to connect and disconnect the apparatus to and from the network device and to establish a communication link with the network device when connected thereto. A processor receives a secure message from the network security server via the port. The message has a PIN for authenticating the user to the network site, and is readable only by the apparatus. The processor either transfers, via the port, the received PIN to an application associated with the network site that is executing on the network device or causes the apparatus to display the received PIN for manual transfer to the application associated with the network site.

A two-level authentication system is described supporting two-factor authentication that offers efficient protection for secure on-line web transactions. It includes a global unique identity (UID) provided either by an institute-issued / personal trusted device, or based on client computing platform hardware attributes, and generated using institution authorized private software, institution-authorized authentication proxy software, and an institution-generated credential code which is pre-stored in the token and only accessible by the institute-authorized authentication proxy software. The institution-authorized authentication proxy software uses the user's PIN and the trusted device's UID as input and verifies the user and device identities through institution-generated credential code which was pre-stored in the trusted device. Authentication is performed in two levels: the first authenticates the user and the trusted device locally; and the second authenticates the user remotely at the institution-owned authentication server. Various embodiments add extra levels of security, including one-time-password management.

Network data gap is determined and reported to enable a user to validate that all the traffic that was intended to be monitored is being monitored in monitoring and / or troubleshooting tools for observation of network traffic and network installation and maintenance. Span port oversubscription, incomplete span configuration, incorrectly placed network taps and monitoring device packet drop may thereby be detected and reported as data gap.

The invention relates to a secure wireless authorization system by which a user can employ a wireless device to authorize a request that is initiated by a remote third party and transmitted to the user by an authorization server. The system includes the authorization server that is linked to the third party by way of a communications connection and a wireless device that is adapted to securely store an encryption scheme and create a secure authorization from the user in response to the third party request and has the ability to establish a secure wireless connection over which the secure authorization is transmitted from the user's wireless device to the authorization server. Pre-authorization, real-time authorization and post-authorization methods are disclosed by which user authorized transactions can be completed by way of the authorization system of this invention.

Method for building a multimodal business channel between users, service providers and network operators. The service provided to the users is personalized with a user's profile derived from language and speech models delivered by a speech recognition system. The language and speech models are synchronized with user dependent language models stored in a central platform made accessible to various value added service providers. They may also be copied into various devices of the user. Natural language processing algorithms may be used for extracting topics from user's dialogues.

The present invention is generally directed to powerful and flexible methods and systems for consensus sequence determination from replicate biomolecule sequence data. It is an object of the present invention to improve the accuracy of consensus biomolecule sequence determination from replicate sequence data by providing methods for assimilating replicate sequence into a final consensus sequence more accurately than any one-pass sequence analysis system.

A biometric authentication apparatus having a simple configuration, able to easily focus on a fingerprint or a vein or other blood vessel pattern and able to clearly capture an image of the same, able to prevent forgery, and in addition able to realize high precision authentication, which biometric authentication apparatus 100 having a transparent plate 110 formed by for example glass or plastic for placement of the finger of the authenticated person, that is, the inspected specimen OBJ, downward in the figure (surface where fingerprint is located facing downward), a fingerprint capturing use illumination apparatus 120, a vein capturing use illumination apparatus 130, and an image capturing apparatus 140, which image capturing apparatus 140 has an imaging lens apparatus capturing a dispersed image of an object passing through the optical system and phase plate, an image processing apparatus generating a dispersion-free image signal from a dispersed image signal from the imaging element, and an object approximate distance information detection apparatus generating information corresponding to the distance to the object, and which the image processing apparatus generating a dispersion-free image signal from the dispersed image signal based on the information generated by the object approximate distance information detection apparatus.

Inmate communications systems provide a feature-rich platform with a high degree of flexibility and security employing call control facilities located off institutional premises. Authentication processes for calling and called party verification include biometric techniques in some embodiments. Distributed processing of call control and billing provide flexible interactive call payment processes. Preferred embodiments feature voice over IP transmission and control featuring controlled access to avoid addition of unauthorized third-party call participants. Monitoring, recording and selective forwarding of calls is provided under control of system administrators.
