Title: Integrated second factor authentication
Inventor: ERICA WICKSTROM BRAND
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2017-10-26
Abstract: A secure physical entity (SPE) is integrated into a computing device, processor(s) determine whether or not a person is in possession of the SPE based on a combination of physical selections made on the physical structures. Indicating that the person is in possession of the SPE may enable access to a resource of the computing device or may present a user interface through which credentials may be received. While this provides the something you have without a need to carry a separate object with you, the something you have also must not be able to be accessed remotely. To prevent remote access physical wires are connected from the secure physical entity to physical structures on the computing device. In this way, a hacker or cyber thief cannot convince an authentication system that the cyber attacker does indeed have the something you have because to do so the attacker must be in physical possession of the computing device
