<p>A voice password-controlled security system is disclosed. After the normal password procedure is successfully completed, the computer (12) institutes a voice call to a telephone (13) associated with the user. The computer queries the user to repeat a randomly selected series of digits or a phrase consisting of a group of words. The computer then compares the voice information received over the voice line with pre-stored voice information associated with the purported user. The computer affords access to its resources if and only if a voice match occurs. Due to the high reliability of the voice recognition system, intruders, even those with password information and who mimic the user's voice, will usually be precluded access to the computer. Significantly, the system is effective yet places no additional burdens on the user, such as memorizing additional codes or carrying encryption devices. <IMAGE></p> |
