Company Confidential Information
Image-Based AuthenticationConfident ImageShield ™ Image-based authentication that generates one-time passwords by having users identify secret categories.
1. The first time a user registers with your website or app, they select a few categories of things they can easily remember
Such as: dogs, flowers and cars
2. Whenever authentication is needed, the user is presented with a randomly-generated grid of images: the Confident ImageShield. ™
3. Each image is randomly paired with an alphanumeric character.
4. The user looks for pictures that fit their secret categories – in this case, dogs, flowers and cars.
By identifying the pictures, the user assembles and submits a one-time password.
The images, their location on the grid, and the alphanumeric
characters are different every time – forming a one-time
password

Benefits:• Multi-layered, multi factor authentication that remains out-of-band• Generates a one-time authentication code• Easy to use• Not susceptible to typical SMS re-routing (Zeus in the Mobile Attacks)
4. The one-time authentication code is sent to our servers for verification. The process remains completely out-of-band from the web session.
1. During enrollment, users choose a few secret categories, which they memorize
2. When multifactor authentication is needed, the organization sends an image-based challenge to the user’s mobile phone (via encrypted SMS or WAP push). Behind the scenes, each image is paired with alphanumeric characters.
