US 11,310,343 B2 · User and user device registration and authentication

Abstract

A method of registering and authenticating a user and a user device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method does not use any stored usernames, passwords, or tokens. In certain embodiments, the method stores algorithmic functions on the user device. When a user requests authentication a server provides variable values to the client device. The values are input into the algorithmic functions. The functions generate an output. The output is sent to the server. The server uses the client device generated output to authenticate the client device and the user. Each time the user requests authentication different variable values are used to prevent prediction and hacking of the system.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method of registering a user and client device pair, a server performing the steps of the method comprising:

a) receiving from the client device a user profile and a device profile;
b) building a user ID file, an encryption key, and a decryption key based, at least in part, on the user profile and/or the device profile;
c) selecting a set of formulas;
d) receiving from the client device a user ordered icon selection;
e) assigning uniquely each formula of the set of formulas to each icon of the user ordered icon selection;
f) encrypting the user ID file with the encryption key;
and
g) generating a hashed file name for the user ID file, wherein generating a hashed file name comprises generating a hashed file name comprising the decryption key.
