A method of detecting a rogue access point is disclosed. A message is directed from a supplicant to a network through an access point. A network response message is received by the supplicant from the access point. A step of determining whether the access point is one of a valid network access point and a rogue access point is performed based on whether the received network response message is respectively in conformity or nonconformity with predetermined expectations. If the access point is determined to be a rogue access point, it is reported to the network. If the access point is determined to be a valid network access point, the supplicant is authenticated to the network.

A method of authenticating an online transaction over a first network uses 2-factor authentication of the user to defeat hacker attacks. A communication device is registered for use with the method. The communication device is configured to receive messages over a second network independent of the first network. The user is authenticated over the first network using a first factor, such as a username and password, and then initiates the transaction. A request to execute the transaction is received and a one-time password is obtained to be used as a second factor of authentication. The one-time password and details describing the transaction are sent to the communication device over the second network. The one-time password is received from the user over the first network to complete the second factor of authentication.

A method and system for completing the authentication process of a user device in a second communication network (such as Wi-Fi or WiMAX) utilizes the user credential (such as a SIM card, a USIM card, or a RUIM card) of a first communication network (such as GSM, CDMA, EDGE, or LTE). A client, such as a software module, executes on the wireless device. An authentication platform retrieves the SIM card credential information in the first communication network and passes the information to the authentication platform of the second communication network, thereby granting the client access to the second communication after the authentication platform validates with the first communication network.

A device or “dongle” (32) is provided for coupling to a Windows-based PC (23). The dongle (32) includes a subscriber identity module (SIM) (15), such as the type used in GSM or UMTS cellular or mobile telecommunications networks. A search engine (40) is accessed by the PC (23) by means of a client application (38) on the PC. The search engine (40) generates a list of search results in response to search criteria in a known manner. Further, the search engine is able to return search results relating to data for which there is restricted access (for example, encrypted data). Such data is identified with a tag which may, for example indicated which users or entities are able to access that data. A user's dongle (32) authenticates that user with the network (3) using a authentication arrangement similar to that employed for authenticating users of a GSM or UMTS mobile telecommunications network. The authenticated identity of the user is communicated to the search engine. The search engine then includes in the search results tagged data items for which the tag indicates that the authenticated user has permission to view. Tagged data items that the authenticated user does not have permission to view are not returned in the search results. Therefore, the user not entitled to view data is not distracted by search results corresponding to data that the user is unable to access. The network (3) may include a key store (51) which stores keys that allow encrypted data items identified by the search engine (40) to be decrypted.

The invention discloses a network authentication method and a network authentication system based on a behavior mode. The network authentication method comprises the following steps of: triggering a behavior authentication request, establishing a behavior sandbox according to the behavior authentication request, displaying the behavior sandbox to a user, and acquiring behavior information of the user; judging whether the behavior information of the user corresponds to a behavior required in the behavior sandbox; if so, allowing to pass authentication, otherwise refusing to pass the authentication. The behavior which can be identified and made by human thinking serves as the basis for judging whether the authentication is passed, and compared with the existing security code mode in a character form, the method has the advantages that the passing defects are easily identified by computer software, and the human user is uniquely determined.
