A method of authenticating a user so that the user can access a website without entering a unique user credential. A user accesses a target and is presented with an authentication code and an address, and the user sends a message containing the authentication code to that address. Alternatively, the user is pre-supplied with an address and is presented only with an authentication code when the user accesses the target. The user's identity is authenticated by comparing an aspect of the metadata of the message with known metadata aspects, and the user is authenticated by comparing the authentication key presented to the user with the one received in the message. Both the user and the user's identity are authenticated in a single step without requiring the user to input any unique user credential.

Credential-free identification and authentication

Systems and method for authenticating users are presented. A system can send a passkey to a user interface of a known device. A user can then send a messaging service message with the passkey from a second device to the system. After receiving the message from the user, the system can extract the passkey from the message, and compare the received passkey against the passkey originally sent to the user. The known device and the second device can each have separate and unique device identifiers.

Text message authentication system

A coil polymer composite tubular body is disclosed, such as for use in medical applications. The body comprises a spring coil having at least one central lumen extending axially therethrough, for receiving medical implements, fiber optics, suction or transmission of fluids such as for irrigation or drug delivery. An elastomeric layer on the spring coil provides a substantially water impermeable seal. In one particular embodiment, the composite tubular body is provided with a laterally deflectable distal tip.
