Patent Images
1. A mobile system comprising:
- a processor to execute instructions;
a manageability engine coupled to the processor and to authenticate a user of the mobile system; and
a trusted storage associated with the manageability engine to store an authentication image and at least one authentication gesture associated with the authentication image, wherein the manageability engine is to cause the authentication image to be displayed on a display of the mobile system within a portion of a display frame image to be displayed on the display according to a set of random coordinates, receive at least one gesture input value from the user based on the displayed frame image, and determine whether the user is authenticated based on the at least one gesture input value and the at least one authentication gesture.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving a request for user authentication of a system in a security engine of the system; preparing, in the security engine, a display frame image including an authentication image, the display frame image larger than the authentication image and the authentication image located with the display frame image using a set of random coordinates; displaying the display frame image on a display of the system; and receiving a plurality of gesture input values from the user, and determining whether to authenticate the user based at least in part on the plurality of gesture input values. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed enable a system to:
-
create a secure channel with a remote system to receive an authentication image; prepare the authentication image according to a first set of coordinates for display of the authentication image on a display of the system to obtain at least one authentication gesture from a user viewing the authentication image; and store the authentication image and the at least one authentication gesture associated with the authentication image in a trusted storage of the system, wherein the authentication image is to be displayed on the display during a plurality of authorization challenges each according to a random and different set of coordinates than the first set of coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
