Abstract
A security server receives a request of a user to activate a secure communications channel over the network and, in response, transmits an activation code for delivery to the user via another network. The security server receives an activation code from the user network device via the network, compares the received activation code with the transmitted activation code to validate the received activation code, and activates the secure communications channel based on the validation. The security server next receives a query including a question for the user from an enterprise represented on the network, transmits the received enterprise query to the user network device via the secure communications channel, and receives, from the user network device via the secure communications channel, a user answer to the transmitted enterprise query. The security server then transmits the received user answer to the enterprise to further authenticate the user to the enterprise.
