Abstract
The security of an entity is protected by using passcodes. A passcode device generates a passcode. In an embodiment, the passcode is generated in response to receipt of user information. The passcode is received by another system, which authenticates the passcode by at least generating a passcode from a passcode generator, and comparing the generated passcode with the received passcode. The passcode is temporary. At a later use a different passcode is generated from a different passcode generator.

1. A system comprising:
-
an acquisition mechanism for acquiring biometric data; an output unit; passcode circuitry including at least an onboard memory; and the passcode circuitry running embedded software, which configures the passcode circuitry for extracting information characterizing the biometric data, generating a registration code from the information, outputting the registration code via the output unit, generating a current passcode generator from the registration code, and storing the current passcode generator in the onboard memory. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3)

4. A system comprising:
-
an acquisition mechanism for acquiring biometric data; an output unit; passcode circuitry including at least an onboard memory; and the passcode circuitry running embedded software that configures the passcode circuitry for implementing a method including at least in response to acquiring a new set of biometric data, authenticating the new set of biometric data, if the new set of biometric data matches information extracted from previously acquired biometric data, generating a passcode from a current passcode generator, generating a new passcode generator from the current passcode generator, replacing a value of the current passcode generator with a value of the new passcode generator, and storing, as the current passcode generator in the onboard memory, the value of new passcode generator that replaced the value of the current passcode generator.

5. A system comprising:
-
circuitry that in response to receiving user information generates a passcode from a passcode generator; wherein the passcode generator is a value derived from earlier acquired user information associated with a user from which the user information is expected to have been received, and the passcode generator is a value from which deriving the earlier received user information is expected to be intractable; the circuitry generating a registration code from the user information; and generating the passcode generator from the registration code; wherein the passcode generator is a value from which deriving the registration code is expected to be intractable, the circuitry being configured to run a registration mode in which a new user is registered to use the system; during the registration mode, the circuitry performs the the generating of the registration code from the user information; and the generating the passcode generator from the registration code; and the user information is received from the new user and stored in the memory; the user information of the new user is converted into a registration code; the registration code is sent to another system; and the registration code generated during the registration modes is an initial passcode generator, which was generated from the registration code. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a memory storing a current passcode generator and user information; circuitry that in response to newly receiving user information, authenticates the user information that was newly received by determining whether there is a match between the user information stored and the user information newly received, and if there is a match, the circuitry generates a new passcode generator from the current passcode generator; and generates a new passcode from the new passcode generator, the new passcode being a value from which deriving the new passcode generator is expected to be intractable; replaces the current passcode generator with the new passcode generator, therein causing the new passcode generator to become the current passcode generator; and replaces the current passcode with the new passcode, therein causing the new passcode to become the current passcode; wherein an initial passcode generator is a value derived from earlier acquired user information associated with a user from which the user information is expected to have been received, and the initial passcode generator is a value from which deriving the earlier received user information is expected to be intractable. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
