Method and system for the authentication of a user of a data processing system
First Claim
1. A method of authenticating a data processing terminal of a user for granting the data processing terminal access to selected services provided by a data processing system, the user being provided with an authenticatable mobile communication terminal adapted to be used in a mobile communication network, comprising:
- performing a first, SIM-based authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal in the data processing system at an authentication data processing server, said performing the SIM-based authentication comprising operatively associating with the user'"'"'s data processing terminal a first subscriber identity module issued to the data processing terminal user;
having the user'"'"'s mobile communication terminal authenticated in the mobile communication network; and
conditioning the authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal in the data processing system to a second authentication, said second authentication being based on identification information provided to the user at the mobile communication terminal through the mobile communication network using a second subscriber identity module.

Abstract
A method of authenticating a user'"'"'s data processing terminal for granting the data processing terminal access to selected services provided by a data processing system. The method includes performing a first, SIM-based authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal at an authentication data processing server in the data processing system, by operatively associating with the user'"'"'s data processing terminal a first subscriber identity module issued to the data processing terminal user, for example, of a type adopted in mobile communication networks for authenticating mobile communication terminals. The authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal in the data processing system is conditioned to a second authentication, based on identification information provided to the user at a mobile communication terminal through a mobile communication network to which the mobile communication terminal is connected, e.g. in the form of an SMS message.

12. A method by which a data processing terminal in a data processing system is authenticated in order to be granted access to selected services provided by the data processing system, the method comprising:
-
interacting with a first user'"'"'s subscriber identity module (SIM) operatively associated with the data processing terminal, and with an authentication data processing server in the data processing system, for performing a SIM-based authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal; acquiring personal identification information provided to the user at a user'"'"'s mobile communication terminal for a second authentication, wherein the second authentication is through a mobile communication network using a second subscriber identity module; and sending said personal identification information to the authentication data processing server for completing the authentication of the data processing terminal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method by which an authentication data processing server authenticates a user'"'"'s data processing terminal in a data processing system in order to grant the data processing terminal access to selected services provided by the data processing system, comprising:
-
receiving a request of authentication of the data processing terminal, the data processing terminal having operatively associated therewith a first subscriber identity module; performing a SIM-based authentication of the data processing terminal based on data associated with the first subscriber identity module; providing the user with first personal identification information by exploiting a user'"'"'s mobile communication terminal authenticated in a mobile communication network; and conditioning the authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal to a prescribed correspondence between the first personal identification information provided to the user and second personal identification information received from the user'"'"'s data processing terminal through the mobile communication network using a second subscriber identity module in reply to the provision of the first personal identification information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. In a data processing system, a system for authenticating a data processing terminal of a user so as to grant the data processing terminal access to selected services provided by the data processing system, the user having an authenticatable mobile communication terminal adapted to be used in a mobile communication network, comprising:
-
a first subscriber identity module operatively associatable with the data processing terminal; and an authentication data processing server adapted to carry out a first authentication step based on the first subscriber identity module; the authentication data processing server being further adapted to carry out a second authentication process based on identification information provided to the user at the mobile communication terminal through the mobile communication network using a second subscriber identity module. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An authentication system for authenticating a user'"'"'s data processing terminal in a data processing system in order to grant the data processing terminal access to selected services provided by the data processing system, comprising:
-
a first subscriber identity module; a hardware computer peripheral device having associated therewith the first subscriber identity module and operatively associatable with the user'"'"'s data processing terminal for performing a first, SIM-based authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal in the data processing system at an authentication data processing server; and a second subscriber identity module operatively associated with a user'"'"'s mobile communication terminal for allowing connection thereof to a mobile communication network and conditioning the authentication of the user'"'"'s data processing terminal in the data processing system to a second authentication, said second authentication being based on identification information provided to the user at the mobile communication terminal through the mobile communication network using the second subscriber identity module. - View Dependent Claims (26)
