System, device and method for terminal user identity verification

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for authentication of an end user of a user station arrangement (10) requesting access to protected information, comprising access server means (20) and authentication means (30), the user station arrangement (10) supporting communication with the authentication means (30) over a first communication channel of a radio network (40). It further supports communication with the authentication means (30) over a second communication channel. The authentication means (30) are adapted to, at reception of a request for access to protected information from a user station arrangement (10) , establish if the user station arrangement (10) is reachable over the first communication channel. Said authentication means (30) are adapted to support a first authentication mode and a second authentication mode over said second communication channel, and further comprises decision means for selecting if and / or when the first or second authentication mode is to be used for a user station arrangement (10) requesting access to protected information.

Problems solved by technology

This document specifically addresses issues requiring dedicated terminals or customized terminals that limit the use of security systems to specific locations

However, this solution is disadvantageous because it does not track the result of the delivery of the challenge code, which means that if there is no radio coverage, the authentication will fail
