Methods and systems for improving the security of secret authentication data during authentication transactions

摘要

A method for improving the security of secret authentication data during authentication transactions is provided that includes converting the secret authentication data of a user into scrambled secret authentication data by associating a different text-string with each item of information included in the secret authentication data. The method also includes capturing the scrambled secret authentication data with a communications device, and conducting an authentication transaction with the captured authentication data.

主权项

1. A method for authenticating users comprising:
determining, by a communications device, text-strings for display thereon, each text-string corresponding to an item of information included in user secret authentication data, wherein at least one of the text-strings is included in a text-string registry and at least one of the text-strings is a new text-string; authenticating, by the communications device, a user with authentication data simultaneously captured from the user with the communications device as the result of the user reciting the text-strings, the captured authentication data including at least different biometric data types; and adding, by the communications device, the new text-string to the text-string registry after successfully authenticating the user.
