Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically retrieving and storing local building/facility access card information on an access card is provided. An access card is provided to a local facility access card reader and is authenticated for the local facility by providing local facility access card information from the reader to be stored inside a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate relating to the access card.
Abstract:
An RFID magnetic field powered translating device that acts as a gateway between mobile devices and radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled readers. The gateway enables the portable device to emulate access credentials for physical access, computer credentials, licenses and payment cards using Bluetooth communication between the portable mobile device and translating device; and RFID emulation at either 125 khz or 13.56 MHz between the translating device and the RFID reader.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a token for dynamically authenticating a user. The token includes a memory for storing secure data; a processor for calculating authentication credentials of the user based on the secure data, and for constructing a server address based on the authentication credentials. Also included is a transmitter for transmitting the server address to a host controller wherein the host controller is configurable to communicate with a remote server locatable at the server address such that the user is dynamically authenticated on the remote server using the authentication credentials.
Abstract:
A method of communicating and authenticating credentials between a portable computing device and multiple radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled readers requires a portable computing device, a RFID reader, and user credentials. The portable computing devices stores user credentials unique to the portable computing device and the RFID reader. The RFID reader activates a corresponding building access system. The method begins by inductively harvesting electrical power into the portable computing device from the RFID reader, if the portable computing device is proximal to the RFID reader. The method then sends the user credentials from a radio communication module of the portable computing device to a radio communication module of the RFID reader, if the electrical power is inductively harvested from the RFID reader into the portable computing device. An authentication process is then executed for the set of user credentials with the RFID reader.

Abstract:
A system and method for providing continued access to authentication and encryption services that includes a secure key store communicably coupled to a virtual smart card server. A virtual smart card driver is also provided and is communicably coupled to a virtual smart card secure hardware server. The virtual smart card driver communicates with an authentication client to authenticate a user, and access the user's private key stored in the secure key store when the user's physical smart card is unavailable. Continued access is provided when the user has been authenticated.

Abstract:
A method of providing continuous authentication in a contactless environment is provided. The method includes providing a reader having a contactless interface, as well as a device, operable to communicate with the reader. The method further includes the steps of receiving at the reader a first authentication request from the device, and communicating from the reader a second authentication request to a secure transaction service. The secure transaction service holds authentication credentials relating to the device. Authentication credentials relating to the device are received at the reader from the secure transaction service, and the reader provides continuous authentication based at least in part on the authentication credentials received from the secure transaction service.
