Abstract
A message generation mechanism for a network interface is provided. The message generation mechanism is operable to generate a message which includes data for signing and authentication procedure instructions. The message is for conveying information to a user device for presentation to a user via a user interface of the user device. The data is arranged in the message in a manner which permits the user device to utilize the data in an automated signing procedure. The automated signing procedure may be a digital signing procedure. The data for signing may be random data, pseudo-random data or secure random data and may be arranged in the message in a manner which avoids presentation to the user.
Claims30
A method for providing a message, comprising:
- generating, by a computer system, the message for a user device, wherein the message comprises:
- authentication data, wherein the authentication data comprises authentication procedure instructions executable for performing digital signing and data to be digitally signed, wherein the authentication data is usable by the user device to perform automatic initiation of an automated authentication signing procedure without user intervention, wherein the automated authentication signing procedure comprises, when executed by the user device, executing the authentication procedure instructions to digitally sign the data to be signed without a user manually digitally signing the data;
- information for presentation to the user via the user device;
- and
- return instructions, which, when executed by the user device, effect automatic return of the data after being digitally signed;
- and
- transmitting, by the computer system, the message to the user device over a network.
A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for providing a message, wherein the program instructions are executable to:
- generate the message for a user device, wherein the message comprises:
- authentication data, wherein the authentication data comprises authentication procedure instructions executable for performing digital signing and data to be digitally signed, wherein the authentication data is usable by the user device to perform automatic initiation of an automated authentication signing procedure without user intervention, wherein the automated authentication signing procedure comprises, when executed by the user device, executing the authentication procedure instructions to digitally sign the data to be signed without a user manually digitally signing the data;
- information for presentation to the user via the user device;
- and
- return instructions, which, when executed by the user device, effect automatic return of the data after being digitally signed;
- and
- transmit the message to the user device over a network.
A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for receiving a message, wherein the program instructions are executable to:
- receive the message over a network, wherein the message comprises:
- authentication data, wherein the authentication data comprises authentication procedure instructions executable for performing digital signing and data to be digitally signed;
- information for presentation to a user;
- and
- return instructions to effect automatic return of the data after being digitally signed;
- present the information to the user;
- automatically execute the authentication procedure instructions to perform digital signing, wherein said automatically executing digitally signs the data to be digitally signed without the user manually digitally signing the data;
- and
- transmit the data, after being digitally signed, over the network.
