A hybrid authentication device that has a keypad, a display, an electronic communications interface and a processor and memory that can be removable, such as a Subscriber Identity Module. The device can operate in a stand-alone mode, in which a user enters a personal identification number and challenge using the keypad, and the device generates a response. The device can also function as a smartcard, and can be electronically coupled to an external device using the communications interface.

Hybrid authentication

A computing system of an authentication service provider receives a federated identity protocol request triggered by a relying party to validate a user. The federated identity protocol request includes a user identifier of an authenticated identity. The computing system searches mapping data stored in a data store that is coupled to the computing system to identify a type of virtual token associated with the user identifier and authenticates the user by requesting the identified type of virtual token from a user device and verifying a virtual token received from the user device using the mapping data. The computing system sends second-factor authentication results to the relying party via the federated identity protocol.

Strong authentication via a federated identity protocol

A scalable system and method for authenticating entities such as consumers to entities with a diverse set of authentication requirements, such as merchants, banks, vendors, other consumers, and so on. An authentication credential such as a token can be shared among several resources as a way to authenticate the credential owner.

Token sharing system and method

A web site can be authenticated by a third party authentication service. A user designates an authentication device that is a shared secret between the user and the authentication service. A web site page includes a URL that points to the authentication service. The URL includes a digital signature by the web site. When the user receives the page, the user's browser issues a request to the authentication service, which attempts to authenticate the digital signature. If the authentication is successful, it sends the authentication device to the user computer.

System and method for website authentication using a shared secret

A system and method for providing identity protection services. According to an embodiment, a validation server receives over a network a response from a credential associated with a user, the credential response provided by the user in order to authenticate the user to one of a plurality of sites on the network that accepts the credential as a factor for authentication, the validation server verifies the credential response on behalf of the one network site, a fraud detection server receives over the network information in connection with a transaction associated with the user at the one network site, and the fraud detection server evaluates the transaction information for suspicious activity based at least in part on information provided to the fraud detection server in connection with one or more transactions at one or more sites on the network other than the one network site.
