Encoded Colorgram For Mobile Device Security
US Patent:
8224293, Jul 17, 2012
Filed:
Dec 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/983186
Inventors:
Ronald P. Knapp - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:
H04W 12/06
US Classification:
455411, 340 582, 235382
Abstract:
A security system includes a software application running in a user's smartphone and a separately carried visual key that the user can image at will with the smartphone's camera. An effective visual key would typically comprise digital data encoded in a series of colored cells arranged in a colorgram. Such digital data is treated as a what-you-have security factor, and is concatenated with other security factors so users can authenticate themselves to websites, internet services, and even within the smartphone device itself or its applications. In one aspect, when users authenticate themselves to a server, the server returns a short-term supply of one-time-passwords or account numbers for use in secure access and financial transactions on other systems.
Mobile Transaction Methods And Devices With Three-Dimensional Colorgram Tokens
US Patent:
8478990, Jul 2, 2013
Filed:
Jun 2, 2011

Assignee:
Cryptite LLC - Portola Valley CA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
US Classification:
713155, 713186
Abstract:
A transaction security process includes authentication and identification parts for pushing an encrypted colorgram for user authentication and persona descriptors for user identification from a transaction server to a first personal trusted device. A decryption of the colorgram is displayed on the first personal trusted device. An image is captured by a second personal trusted device. An encryption of the image captured from the second personal trusted device is uploaded to the transaction server. The persona descriptors are used to build a composite rendering for identification of the first user to the second user. The second user clicks “OK” if they recognize the composite drawing as a reasonable persona of the first user.
Traceable And Non-Reputable Transaction Devices And Methods
US Patent:

Filed:
Jul 14, 2012
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
G06Q 40/00, H04L 9/32
US Classification:
705 67, 705 44
Abstract:
Data and financial transactions are secured on a mobile electronics device for traceability and non-repudiation. A mobile personal trusted device (PTD) is needed to communicate over a network to a transaction server. Characteristic abstracts of objects carried by users have distinctive features that can be associated with and registered to a particular user and are recorded. An abstract contemporaneously obtained during a secure transaction is sent to a server for use as an authenticator for comparison to an abstract previously obtained and registered to said user. A traceable transaction record is rendered that is highly identifiable and substantially indisputable.
