Claim 8:
9. A witnessed authentication method using a root client device and a witness client device positioned adjacent one another, comprising:
receiving, by a first instance of an application running on the root client device, a task code from an authentication server;
receiving, by a second instance of the application running on the witness client device, the task code;
synchronizing, using a short range wireless protocol, the root client device with the witness client device;
generating, by the first instance and based at least in part upon the task code, a first part of a virtual screen defining an interactive task for display by the root client device;
generating, by the second instance and based at least in part upon the task code, a second part of the virtual screen defining the interactive task for display by the witness client device;
capturing, by the first instance, first movement data detected by the root client device as a user of the root client device performs the interactive task;
invoking, by the first instance and concurrently with the step of capturing by the first instance, at least one biometric authentication of the user by the root client device;
sending, by the first instance, a result of the biometric authentication and the first movement data to the authentication server;
capturing, by the second instance and concurrently with the step of capturing by the first instance, second movement data detected by the witness client device as the user performs the interactive task; and
sending, by the second instance, the second movement data to the authentication server;
wherein the result of the biometric authentication, the first movement data, and the second movement data are indicative of authenticity of the user.
