System, design and process for strong authentication using bidirectional otp and out-of-band multichannel authentication

Abstract

Systems and methods of authentication according to the invention are provided comprising a user, a service client, a service server, a portable communications device and an authentication server, wherein the method comprises use of one time passwords and out-of-band outbound communication channels. This system gives access to authentication seekers based on OTP out of band outbound authentication mechanism. The authentication seeker or system user scans a multi-dimensional barcode or another like encoding mechanism and validates the client and triggers the out of band outbound mechanism. The portable mobile device invokes the client server to request authentication. The client server authenticates the user based on a shared secret key and the user is automatically traversed to the next page.
