Methods and systems for providing bidirectional authentication
First Claim
1. A method of providing bidirectional authentication between a user device and a secure computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a security device, a request to generate data for secure access between the user device and the secure computing device;
generating, by the security device, a one-time password and a unique sequence of symbologies in response to receiving the request;
transmitting, by the security device, the one-time password, the unique sequence of symbologies and location information to a secure computing device, wherein the location information corresponds to a location of the security device and wherein the one-time password, the unique sequence of symbologies and the location information are configured to provide the secure computing device with an ability to establish the bidirectional authentication between the user device and the computing device; and
displaying, by the security device, the one-time password and the unique sequence of symbologies to a user such that the user provides the one-time password to the secure computing device via the user device and receives an authenticating sequence of symbologies from the secure computing device in response, wherein the bidirectional authentication is established when the user device confirms the unique sequence of symbologies matches the authenticating sequence of symbologies.

Abstract
Methods and systems for providing access to a secure computing device are disclosed. A security device is used to generate a one-time password, a sequence of symbologies, and location information. The security device transmits the password, sequence and location information to the secure computing device for storage and displays the password and sequence to a user. A user device provides a password to the secure computing device in order to obtain access. The secure computing device compares the password with the stored one-time password to verify the user of the user device and sends the sequence to the user device in response. The user or user device verifies the sequence of symbologies to confirm the secure access. The location information may be used to detect fraudulent accesses to the user account.

6. A method of establishing bidirectional authentication between a user device and a secure computing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the secure computing device, a first one-time password and a first unique sequence of symbologies from a security device, wherein the first one-time password and the first unique sequence of symbologies are generated by the security device in response to a request to access the secure computing device; receiving, by the secure computing device, a second one-time password from the user device; determining, by the secure computing device, whether the first one-time password matches the second one-time password; if the first one-time password matches the second one-time password, transmitting, by the secure computing device, the first unique sequence of symbologies to the user device for authentication; and if a confirmation is received from the user device that the first unique sequence of symbologies matches a second unique sequence of symbologies obtained by the user device from the security device; confirming, by the secure computing device, the user device to establish the bidirectional authentication, and granting, by the secure computing device, secure access to the user device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18)

12. A system for providing bidirectional authentication between a user device and a secure computing device, the system comprising:
-
a processing device; and a processor-readable storage medium in operable communication with the processing device, wherein the processor-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to; receive a request to generate data for secure access between the user device and the secure computing device, generate a one-time password and a unique sequence of symbologies in response to receiving the request, transmit the one-time password, the unique sequence of symbologies and location information to a secure computing device, wherein the location information corresponds to a location of the security device and wherein the one-time password, the unique sequence of symbologies and the location information are configured to provide the secure computing device with an ability to establish the bidirectional authentication between the user device and the computing device, and display the one-time password and the unique sequence of symbologies to a user such that the user provides the one-time password to the secure computing device via the user device and receives an authenticating sequence of symbologies from the secure computing device in response, wherein the bidirectional authentication is established when the user device confirms the unique sequence of symbologies matches the authenticating sequence of symbologies. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
