Abstract

A method of obtaining and automatically providing secure authentication information includes registering a client device over a data line, storing information and a changeable value for authentication in subsequent telephone-only transactions. In the subsequent transactions, a telephone call placed from the client device to an interactive voice response server is intercepted and modified to include dialing of a delay and at least a passcode, the passcode being based on the unique information and the changeable value, where the changeable value is updated for every call session. The interactive voice response server forwards the passcode and a client device identifier to an authentication function, which compares the received passcode to plural passcodes generated based on information and iterations of a value stored in correspondence with the client device identifier. Authentication is confirmed when a generated passcode matches the passcode from the client device.

Claims (34)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

transmitting, by a computer to a client device via a data channel during a registration of the client device, authentication information for generating an authentication sequence, the authentication information includes at least one of a token or a key;

receiving, by the computer from the client device during a phone call via a phone channel, a client device identifier of the client and dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones representing a purported authentication sequence including purported authentication information;

querying, by the computer, a database for the authentication information stored in the database using the client device identifier;

obtaining, by the computer, the authentication sequence using the authentication information stored in the database, wherein obtaining the authentication sequence includes generating, by the computer, a passcode for an iteration of the authentication sequence using the at least one of the key or the token of the authentication information, wherein the computer generates the passcode for each iteration of a plurality of iterations; and

authenticating, by the computer, the client device based upon the purported authentication sequence compared against the authentication sequence stored in the database.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising retrieving, by the computer, an access record from the database containing the client device identifier and the authentication sequence, the access record indexed in the database according to the at least one of the token or the key associated with the client device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the computer transmits, to the client device, a seed for generating the authentication information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the purported authentication information received by the computer includes a session-specific passcode generated using a session-specific value that encodes the key of the purported authentication information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication sequence contains the passcode, the passcode including a keyed-hash encoding of the token of the authentication information.

6. The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the computer authenticates the phone call, in response to the computer determining that a purported passcode in the purported authentication sequence matches the passcode generated by the computer utilizing the token associated with the client device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the computer transmits a changeable value to the client device with the authentication information for generating the authentication sequence, wherein the computer stores the changeable value in the database, and wherein the computer obtains the authentication sequence using the changeable value and the authentication information stored in the database.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the computer generates each passcode for each particular iteration of the plurality of iterations using the changeable value for the particular iteration.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein authenticating the caller device includes updating, by the computer, a changeable value for generating each authentication sequence.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication information contains the token, the token associated with the client device for generating multiple authentication sequences including the authentication sequence.

11. A system comprising:

a database configured to store authentication information associated with one or more client devices; and

a computer comprising at least one processor configured to:

transmit, to a client device via a data channel during a registration of the client device, authentication information for generating an authentication sequence, the authentication information includes at least one of a token or a key;

receive, from the client device during a phone call via a phone channel, a client device identifier of the client and dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones representing a purported authentication sequence including purported authentication information;

query a database for the authentication information stored in the database using the client device identifier;

obtain the authentication sequence using the authentication information stored in the database, wherein to obtain the authentication sequence the computer generates a passcode for an iteration of the authentication sequence using the at least one of the key or the token of the authentication information, wherein the computer generates the passcode for each iteration of a plurality of iterations; and

authenticate the client device based upon the purported authentication sequence compared against the authentication sequence stored in the database.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the computer is further configured to retrieve an access record from the database containing the client device identifier and the authentication sequence, the access record indexed in the database according to the at least one of the token or the key associated with the client device.

13. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the computer is further configured to transmit, to the client device, a seed for generating the authentication information.

14. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the purported authentication information received by the computer includes a session-specific passcode generated using a session-specific value that encodes the key of the purported authentication information.

15. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the authentication sequence contains the passcode, the passcode including a keyed-hash encoding of the token of the authentication information.

16. The system according to claim 15 ,

wherein the computer authenticates the phone call, in response to the computer determining that a purported passcode in the purported authentication sequence matches the passcode generated by the computer utilizing the token associated with the client device.

17. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the computer is configured to transmit a changeable value to the client device with the authentication information for generating the authentication sequence, wherein the computer stores the changeable value into the database, and wherein the computer obtains the authentication sequence using the changeable value and the authentication information stored in the database.

18. The system according to claim 17 , wherein the computer is further configured to generate each passcode for each iteration of the plurality of iterations using the changeable value for the particular iteration.

19. The system according to claim 11 , wherein, when authenticating the caller device, the computer is further configured to update the changeable value for generating each authentication sequence.

20. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the authentication information contains the token, the token associated with the client device for generating multiple authentication sequences including the authentication sequence.
