Abstract
Methods and apparatus for finding a shared secret without compromising non-shared secrets are disclosed. The methods and apparatus receive a first group of hashed secrets from a communication device and compare the first group of hashed secrets to a second group of hashed secrets associated with an application server. A shared secret is identified among the first and second groups of hashed secrets. An application associated with the shared secret is sent to the communication device via a communication channel.

6. An application server, comprising:
-
secure information stored within the application server; a communications interface adapted to be coupled to a communication channel; and a processor unit programmed to cause the application server to; receive a first group of hashed information from a communication device via the communications interface; hash at least a portion of the secure information to form a second group of hashed information; compare the first group of hashed information to the second group of hashed information; and identify a shared secret among the first and second groups of hashed information. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A machine accessible medium having data stored thereon that, when executed, causes a machine to:
-
receive a first group of hashed secrets from a communication device; compare the first group of hashed secrets to a second group of hashed secrets associated with an application server; identify a shared secret among the first and second groups of hashed secrets; and send an application associated with the shared secret to the communication device via the communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
