Authentication in cybersecurity. Authentication is important because it enables organizations to keep their networks secure by permitting only authenticated users (or processes) to access its protected resources, which may include computer systems, networks, databases, websites and other network-based applications or services.

Secure authentication in a multi-party system

A network user is authenticated to another network entity by using a first program to receive user input validation information, and store a user credential. A second program receives information, such as a random number, from the other entity. The first program receives an input transferring the information to it, transmits the information to the authentication server, and receives an identifier of the other entity, other information, and authentication policy requirements from the authentication server. It then transmits the input validation information corresponding to the received authentication policy requirements to the authentication server, and in response receives a request for a user credential. It signs a message, including the transferred information and the received other information, with the stored user credential, and transmits the signed message to the authentication server to authenticate the user.

Simple two-factor authentication

Internet Security is increasingly of concern as more and more cases of identity theft of online data is reported. Simple login and password authentication for access to sensitive websites like financial, health or other personal data is no longer sufficient. Several mechanisms for additional security, called two-factor authentication have been proposed. Most of them involve the use of a physical device like a card which is read by a card reader or suggest the use of biometric authentication. Although, these are very secure, the cost of implementation of these “physical” authentications is high. This invention outlines the use of a simple two factor authentication using mobile phones, PDAs or Credit and Debit cards that most users already have, without the need for any special hardware.
