An invention is afforded for providing security for a protected network resource. The system includes a network access apparatus in communication with a receiver that receives signals from a remote source. The network access apparatus is capable of collecting current microprint data for the receiver, which is a plurality of values based on data values received at the receiver over a predefined period of time, for example, forty-five seconds. The system also includes an authentication computer in communication with the network access apparatus. The authentication computer has access to an LSDF for the receiver, which is a plurality of values based on data values received at the receiver over a predefined period of time, for example, a twenty-four hour period of time. In operation the network access apparatus provides current microprint data for the receiver to the authentication computer, and the authentication computer compares the current microprint data to the LSDF for the receiver to authenticate an access request. |
