Abstract
The invention relates to a method of entering a security code such as particularly a common key to ensure communication in a wireless network (10) in a dataprocessing apparatus (2). A speech-recording unit (3, 6) records the pass phrase spoken by a user (1) in the form of audio data. A speech analysis unit (4) subdivides the audio data into a sequence of phonemes or groups of phonemes representing the searched security code.
Claims10
A method of entering a security code into a data-processing apparatus (2), the method comprising the steps of:
- a. recording the audio data which are being produced when a sequence of phonemes is spoken by a user (1);
- b. deriving a security code, based on the sequence of phonemes, from the recorded audio data.
A data-processing unit (2) requiring the entry of a security code for performing its function, the data-processing unit comprising:
- a. a speech-recording unit (3, 6) for recording the audio data that are being produced when a user (1) speaks a sequence of phonemes;
- b. a speech analysis unit (4), coupled to the speech recording unit (3, 6), for deriving a security code from the recorded audio data on the basis of the sequence of phonemes.
