Abstract
Techniques are provided to authenticate components in a system. Users may enter credentials into an input device and the credentials may be authenticated and/or securely transmitted to the components. The components may then provide the credentials to a server in the system. Strong authentication may thus be provided to the effect that credentials associated with specific users have been received from specific components in the system. The server may then enable the components to access selected services.
Claims28
An authentication method comprising:
- receiving authentication data at an input device;
- cryptographically processing the authentication data at the input device;
- transmitting the cryptographically processed authentication data to an access device;
- processing the transmitted authentication data at the access device;
- transmitting the processed authentication data to a service provider.
2 more elements
A secure data processing system comprising:
- an input device adapted to receive authentication data, cryptographically process the authentication data and transmit the cryptographically processed authentication data over a medium;
- and
- an access device adapted to receive the transmitted authentication data, process the received authentication data and transmit the processed authentication data to a service provider.
