System and method for delivering a challenge response in an authentication protocol
First Claim

1. A method for authenticating a user comprising:
- receiving an access-request of a network protocol at a challenge-response server, wherein the network protocol is a client/server protocol running in the application layer and using a user datagram protocol as transport;
determining if an access-challenge message is required;
configuring an active script component to modify an existing static authentication interface of a user device;
delivering the active script component through a parameter of an access-challenge message of the network protocol when an access-challenge is required;
receiving a challenge-response of a user;
validating the challenge-response; and
selectively sending an access-accept response for a valid challenge-response and sending an access-denied response for an invalid challenge-response.

Abstract
A system and method for authenticating a user that includes receiving an access-request of a network protocol at a challenge-response server; determining if an access-challenge message is required; delivering an active script component through a parameter of an access-challenge message of the network protocol when an access-challenge is required; receiving a challenge-response of a user; validating the challenge-response; and selectively sending an access-accept response for a valid challenge-response and sending an access-denied response for an invalid challenge-response.

10. A method for authenticating network access comprising:
-
receiving an access-request of a network protocol at a challenge response server, wherein the network protocol is a client server protocol running in the application layer and using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as transport; processing the access-request to verify credentials; the challenge response server selectively replying with an access-accepted message for verified credentials, an access-denied message if credentials are denied, and an access-challenge message if the credentials require a challenge to verify the credentials; configuring an active script component to transform an authentication interface of a user device; wherein replying with an access-challenge message includes embedding the active script component in a parameter of the access-challenge; receiving a challenge-response of a user; validating the challenge-response; and selectively sending an access-accept response for a valid challenge-response and sending an access-denied response for an invalid challenge-response. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
