Abstract
An identification authenticating system includes a first memory for storing a program to perform a preselected calculation on an input value to obtain an expected result. An input value is supplied to the program wherein calculation is performed thereon. An external signal is supplied, and that signal is compared the expected result. A comparison determines whether the expected result and input value correspond to one another, thereby authenticating an identification.
Claims12
A system for authenticating identification comprising:
- first memory means adapted for storing a program to perform a preselected calculation on an input value to obtain an expected result;
- means for generating the expected result in accordance with the calculation;
- means for placing the first memory means in data communication with the generating means;
- a second memory means, placed in data communication with the first memory means and the generating means, the second memory means being adapted for storage of a copy of the program of the first memory means;
- a means for reading out the program from the second memory means in accordance with the execution of the generating means;
- means for supplying the input value to the program whereby the calculation is performed thereon;
- means for receiving an external signal;
- and
- means for comparing the expected result and the external signal to authenticate the identification.
