摘要
The present invention includes a device and method to authenticate a user to a computer prior to the user having access to the computer or network. As user name and password protocols are nearly ubiquitous in authentication applications used today, there have been developed many nefarious techniques to defeat the security of such systems. It is relatively easy to write a computer program to guess passwords and then use those passwords to defeat security and cause harm and mischief to a computer, its users and others. To thwart such activity, the present invention provides a novel device that can be provided within a keyboard, in a computer, or in a third device having connectivity thereto. The device in conjunction with the method provides a secure password mode and a challenge/response protocol to verify that the password is entered in response to a particular request for a password.
