First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multi-purpose authentication device, comprising:
- a main memory;
a processor coupled to access the main memory; and
an access code generating means located in the processor for generating a one-time access code associated with a single user'"'"'s identity, for correlating authentication protocols with the access codes stored in the memory and for communicating the authentication of the user'"'"'s access to an external protected resource. an independent power source operationally connected to the processor. a communications controller for interfacing to an external processing device.

Abstract
A multi-purpose user authentication card that combines the functions of one-time passcode generator, storage components and smart card components in a single compact device. A microprocessor generates the one-time passcode, which is displayed on a screen for 30-60 seconds. A smart card performs basic encryption and decryption to allow the user to gain access to a protected external resource. An independent, rechargeable power source allows the card to switch between an active mode, a standby mode and an off mode.
