METHOD AND SYSTEM USING TWO OR MORE STORAGE DEVICES FOR AUTHENTICATING MULTIPLE USERS FOR A SINGLE TRANSACTION

摘要

A method for using multiple storage devices for authenticating multiple users in regard to a single transaction is described. The method includes receiving data at a server, the data indicative of a first user attempting to access the server through a first interface operable with a first storage device, receiving data at the server, the data indicative of a second user, having an association with the first user, attempting to access the server through a second interface operable with a second storage device, producing, at the server, a hash value from a combination of the data indicative of the first user and the data indicative of the second user, initiating transaction based counters, at the server, based on the communicated counter values, performing a transaction within the server based on data retrieved from at least the first storage device, and iterating the transaction based counters upon completion of the transaction.
