Abstract
Protecting the security of an entity by using passcodes is disclosed. A user's passcode device generates a passcode, where sometimes the device is called Alice. In an embodiment, the passcode is generated in response to receipt of user information. The passcode is received by another system (called Bob or the second party), which authenticates the passcode by at least generating a passcode from a passcode generator or nonce, and comparing the generated passcode with the received passcode. The passcode is temporary. At a later use a different passcode is generated from a different passcode generator. In these embodiments, there are asymmetric secrets stored on the passcode device (Alice's device) and by the administrator (Bob's device). This adds more security so that if the backend servers are breached, the adversary cannot generate valid passcodes. In some embodiments, the passcode depends on a nonce or the rounded time.
