Methods and systems for authenticating identity
Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for secure communications between a user device and an authentication system. The systems and methods create a dynamic identification for the device that is stored in both the device and authentication system.
1. A system, comprising:
a device comprising device memory;
an authenticating system comprising authentication system memory;
a device identification registered at both the device and the authenticating system; and
a communications network for transmitting data between the device and the authenticating system;
wherein the device and authentication system memories contain the device identification assigned to the device;
wherein the authenticating system authenticates the device for each transaction between the device and the authenticating system by comparing a dynamic login identification created for each transaction in both the device and the authenticating system; and
wherein the dynamic login identification is created at the device and authenticating system by combining the device identification with a login and transaction information to create process data that is processed by a hash algorithm; and
wherein the authentication system memory contains the device identification prior to authentication; and
wherein the device identification is created from processing a user signature and a random number, the same device identification is used to create the dynamic login identification for each transaction.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device is selected from a group consisting of smart phones, computer laptops, computer tablets, point of sale devices and electronic control units.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device is an unmanned vehicle control unit and the authenticating system is an unmanned vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device memory resides on a platform selected from a group consisting of a trusted platform module, SmartCard, and SmartChip.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is selected from a group consisting of financial institutions, commercial retailers, military systems, automobile electronics system, medical institutions, government institutions, cloud storage systems, critical infrastructure systems and security systems.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the military system is an unmanned vehicle control system.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the login is selected from a group consisting of a username, password and personal identification number.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction information is selected from a group consisting of time, transaction cost, command, request and location.
