Title:
ONLINE AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/219086
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In previous user authentication methods, user convenience and safety were in a relationship of opposition. For example, adoption of two-factor technology increases security but decreases user convenience. If smart cards are introduced in order to further increase security, user convenience is further lost. In contrast, the majority of users are already familiar with the use of passwords, and thus the introduction of smart cards has been slow. As a result, a variety of internet crimes can be committed simply by stealing passwords. Furthermore, it is understood that even with two-factor technology, it is impossible to prevent password theft due to phishing. These problems arise from the exposure of passwords on the internet by existing user authentication, and the assumption that authentication checks are unidirectional from servers to communications terminals. The present application presents a mutual authentication technology wherein the exchange of passwords is restricted to only between a legitimate user and a legitimate communications terminal, and the communications terminal also checks and authenticates a server as well.
