Abstract

Reflective factors are used in combination with a, one-time password (OTP) in order to strengthen a system's ability to prevent man in the middle (MITM) phishing attacks. These reflective factors may include information such as URL information, HTTPS, a server's certificate, a session key, or transaction information. These reflective factors help to ensure that a client that wishes to access a server is the legitimate client, because even if a phisher (including a phisher attacking the legitimate client in real time) records identifying information from the legitimate client, it cannot replicate the reflective information to authenticate itself with the server.
