摘要：An authentication system (10) allows the identity of a user (12) to beauthenticated when the user (12) is seeking access to a secure service provided by aserver (14). The system (10) comprises two separate communications channels. The firstchannel is a network (20) for allowing the user (12) to communicate with the server (14).The second channel is a mobile communications channel (26) that utilises a mobilecommunications device (28) for allowing an authentication server (22) to communicatewith the user (12). In use, when the user (12) requests access to the server (14), he or shesends a username to the server (14). The server (14) generates a request for theconfirmation of the user's identity, which it sends to the authentication server (22). Theauthentication server (22) in turn generates a passcode and also queries a user databasefor the mobile communication device network number of the user (12). The server (22)sends the passcode via the mobile communication network to the user's mobile device(28) and to the server (14). Once the user (12) receives the passcode, he or she offers it asa passcode to the server (14), which compares the passcode that was offered by the user(12) with the passcode that it received from the authentication server (22). If the twocodes are the same, the server (14) may allow access to the desired service or facility.
