Abstract:
1. A method of secure communication between a server and a terminal remote from the server, the terminal including a user operated data input device, the secure communication method comprising the steps of: receiving a request from said terminal over a first communication pathway encrypted using a first encryption key, the request being an access request for access to the server; communicating encoding data from the server to the terminal, the encoding data being specific to a communication event; generating positional data from data entered by a user using the data input device of the terminal with respect to the encoding data, the positional data consisting of identifiers for the positions of user selected characters of the data input device; communicating over a second communication pathway, the positional data from the terminal to the server, the positional data being encrypted using a second encryption key; and decoding the positional data received by the server using said encoding data to generate the user entered data; wherein the second communication pathway is separate from and different to the first communication pathway and the first and second encryption keys are different such that the risk is reduced that the data sent from the terminal, if intercepted, could be used to extract the user's full authorization.
