Abstract Several embodiments of computer security systems are described and which are
adapted to grant an authorized individual access to a secured domain, such as a
computer or data stream. In one embodiment, the security system comprises: an
analyzing means for receiving first and second passwords, each of said passwords
being transmitted over a first communication channel, analyzing said first password,
transmitting a first signal output only if said first password is authorized, and granting
access to said secured domain only if said second password is substantially identical to
a code; and a random code generating means for generating said code, transmitting
said code over a second communication channel upon receipt of first signal output, and
transmitting said code to said analyzing means; and a notification means for receiving
said code and for notifying said authorized individual of the identity of said code.
A security system for use in combination with a computer, said security system
comprising: An analyzing means for receiving first password, for generating a first signal in
response to said received first password, for receiving a first code, for receiving a
second code, and for allowing access to said computer only if said first and said second
codes are substantially identical and; code generation means for receiving said first signal and for generating and
communicating said first code to said analyzing means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
110 words
A method to restrict access to a certain group of individuals to a computer, said
method comprising the steps of: assigning a unique password to each of said certain group of individuals; assigning a telephone number to each of said unique passwords; receiving a data stream; comparing said data stream to each of said unique passwords identifying one of
said unique passwords with said data stream; generating and transmitting a first code to said telephone number associated
with said one identified password; receiving a second code; comparing said first and said second codes; and allowing access to said computer only is said first and said second codes are
substantially identical.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
43 words
A method to securely transmit data comprising the steps of: receiving said data; distributing said received data into a plurality of communications channels; transmitting said distributed data by use of said plurality of communication
channels; receiving said distributed data; and reconstituting said data.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
53 words
A method to securely transmit data having a plurality of bits, said method
comprising the steps of: interspersing a plurality of filler data bits into said data in a certain pattern; transmitting said data and aid interspersed filler data; receiving said data and said interspersed filler data; and discarding said interspersed filler data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
99 words
A security system adapted to grant an authorized individual access to secured
domain, comprising: an analyzing means for receiving first and second passwords, each of said
passwords being transmitted over a first communication channel, analyzing said first
password, transmitting a first signal output only if said first password is authorized, and
granting access to said secured domain only if said second password is substantially
identical to code; and a random code generating means for generating said code, transmitting said
code over a second communication channel upon receipt of first signal output, and
transmitting said code to said analyzing means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The invention according to claim 1 wherein said analyzing means if further
comprises a timing means for recording the time that said first password is received and
granting access to said secured domain only if said second password is received within
a predetermined period of time.
