ABSTRACT:
To authenticate a user having an associated asymmetric crypto-key having a private/public key pair (D,E) based on a one-time-password, the user partially signs a symmetric session key with the first portion D1of the private key D. The authenticating entity receives the partially signed symmetric session key via the network and completes the signature with the second private key portion D2to recover the symmetric session key. The user also encrypts a one-time-password with the symmetric session key. The authenticating entity also receives the encrypted one-time-password via the network, and decrypts the received encrypted one-time-password with the recovered symmetric session key to authenticate the user.
