A method for authenticating a user to a computer system is disclosed, comprising using a first input and a second input in producing a digital signature in response to a challenge. The digital signature is valid when the first input matches a personalized secret and the second input matches a trio comprising a public modulus, a public exponent, and a private-key-dependent exponent. Selection of the personalized secret is discretionary and changeable. A crypto-key generation process uses the personalized secret and two primes as input to produce the trio. The public modulus and public exponent of the trio form a public key used in digital signature validation. Also disclosed is a business method that replaces the conventional public-key certificate with an agreement on the user's public key.

Handwriting recognition techniques employing a personalized handwriting recognition engine. The recognition techniques use examples of an individual's previous writing style to help recognize new pen input from that individual. The techniques also employ a shape trainer to select samples of an individual's handwriting that accurately represent the individual's writing style, for use as prototypes to recognize subsequent handwriting from the individual. The techniques also alternately or additionally employ an intelligent combiner to combine the recognition results from the personalized recognition engine and the conventional recognition engine (or engines). The combiner may use a comparative neural network to combine the recognition results from multiple recognition engines. The combiner alternately may use a rule-based system based on prior knowledge of different recognition engines.
