CA 2752090

An automated system and method for authenticating entities or individuals attempting to access a computer application, network, system or device using a wireless device is provided. The system employs one or more short-range wireless interfaces (e.g. BLUETOOTH or Wi-Fi) or long-range wireless interfaces (e.g. cellular or WiMAX) to detect the presence or location of the wireless device and it's proximity to the secure system to be accessed. The wireless device incorporates a unique identifier and secure authentication key information associated with the user of the wireless device. An authentication result is generated and may be used for a variety of applications. The application may process the result and determine the degree of access for which the entity or individual is allowed.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé automatisés permettant d'identifier des entités ou des personnes tentant d'accéder à une application informatique, à un réseau, à un système ou à un dispositif utilisant un dispositif sans fil. Le système utilise une ou plusieurs interfaces sans fil à plage courte (par ex. BLUETOOTH ou Wi-Fi) ou des interfaces sans fil à plage longue (par ex. cellulaire ou WiMAX) pour détecter la présence ou la position du dispositif sans fil et sa proximité avec le système sécurisé auquel accéder. Le dispositif sans fil comprend un identificateur unique et une information sur une clé d'authentification sécurisée associée à l'utilisateur du dispositif sans fil. Un résultat d'authentification est généré et peut être utilisé pour diverses applications. L'application peut traiter le résultat et déterminer le degré d'accès auquel est autorisée l'entité ou la personne.
