SFOR has the mother of all authentication patents.
From the filings put together by R&G for SFOR vs SecureAuth:
"II. BACKGROUND
A. The Technology of the Asserted Patents
The Asserted Patents disclose systems and methods for authenticating a user seeking access to a restricted computer resource using an out-of-band security system. Ex. 1, 1:16-22. In each of the four disclosed embodiments, two different forms of user-entered information are utilized. The first is typically a user’s login information, whereas the second is information used to authenticate that user (such as through a PIN or passcode). This type of system implements “two-factor authentication” because the system authorizes the user request for access using two forms of information. To enhance security even further, these two forms of information are communicated using different pathways (or “channels”). These two- channel systems are referred to as “out of band” authentication systems."
"As the Asserted Patents explain, according to an aspect of the Invention, a user first attempts to access a host computer (e.g., a banking website) and transmits his or her login credentials (e.g., a user name and password) through an access channel (e.g., using an Internet connection). This request to access the host computer is intercepted and the user’s credentials are verified by a security computer. E.g., id., 4:10-18. Once the user has been verified, the security computer establishes an “out- of-band” communication channel with the user via a different authentication channel (e.g., by calling the user’s mobile phone over a cellular network). Id. Using that second authentication channel, the user provides additional information that is used to authenticate the user for access."
"This use of separate channels protects against a hacker who has gained access to the access channel, but not the authentication channel. Thus, through implementation of a novel, two-channel system that utilizes a different channel for authentication than for access, the Asserted Patents provide a more secure system than those described in the prior art."
Out of band authentication to be "truely OOB" must use two seperate channels. Single channel is everyone else and therefore inband. Inband is NOT nearly as secure as SFOR's patent.
SFOR attorneys are fighting to protect our patents 2F/MF OOBA.
