Abstract
Description
- This application is a Divisional application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/034,594 filed on Sep. 24, 2013.
- The present invention relates generally to authentication of computer network access, and more particularly to a method and system for using a vibration signature as an authentication key.
- The access authentication promotes information sharing among authorized users and prohibits others from accessing the information. Particularly, in a session for a user to a use a local network via WIFI, the entry of a security key by the user is not always an easy and user-friendly way; furthermore, the security key left in the computer after the session may allow the user without authorization to access other sessions. There exist some solutions. In a first solution, a flash drive may be distributed to authorized users; the flash drive is with preconfigured network settings or a text file containing a password. With the first solution, a computer or other electronic device must have a USB drive, and flash drive data can be easily copied. In a second solution, two-dimensional barcode may be used for a user to scan for the purpose of authentication. With the second solution, a computer or other electronic device must have a camera; in addition, a picture of the two-dimensional barcode can be easily taken and distributed without authorization. In a third solution, near field communication (NFC) may be used for a user to be authenticated by bringing a computer to proximity of a router; wherein both the computer and the router must be NFC enabled. With the third solution, the user must bring the computer close enough to the router. Under the situation of multiple users, the third solution is unsuitable and inconvenient.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and computer program product for using a vibration signature as an authentication key to authorize access of a user computer to a network. In one of the embodiments, at least one computer program on a router invokes the router to listen to a vibration signal of the vibration signature from a device attached on the user computer, wherein the device generates the vibration signal of the vibration signature. The at least one computer program on the router receives the vibration signal of the vibration signature from the device and validates the vibration signature. The at least one computer program on the router starts a session of connecting the user computer to the network through the router, in response to determining that the vibration signature is authorized.
- In another one of embodiments, at least one computer program on a router activates a vibration device to emit a vibration signal of the vibration signature. At least one program on a user computer decodes the vibration signal to a security set identifier and a security key, in response to receiving the vibration signal from the vibration device. The at least one program on the user computer sends the security set identifier and the security key to the router. The at least one computer program on the router validates the security set identifier and the security key. The at least one computer program on the router starts a session of connecting the user computer to the network through the router, in response to determining that the security set identifier and the security key are authorized.

The SSID and the security key are generated by user computer devices 340-1 to 340-n through decoding the vibration signal of the vibration signature. Vibrationsignature control program 315 validates the SSID and the security key and then allow user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n to accessnetwork 320.Vibration device 317 emits a persistent and repetitious vibration signal of the vibration signature. The vibration signature is used byrouter 310 to authenticate user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n. The vibration signal is emitted by a built-in vibration device in the second exemplary embodiment; however, in other embodiments, the vibration signal can be emitted from a stand-alone vibration device which is separated from a router. - Referring to
FIG. 3 ,system 300 further includes vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n. Vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n may be incorporated into computer devices 340-1 through 340-n, respectively. Alternatively, vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n may be separate devices which are attached onto user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n, respectively. Vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n receive the vibration signal sent out byvibration device 317. For example, microphone devices or accelerometers can be used as vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n. In the second exemplary embodiment, each of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n includes vibrationsignature decoding program 345. Vibrationsignature decoding program 345 decodes the vibration signal to the SSID and the security key, and sends the SSID and the security key torouter 310. -
FIG. 4 isflowchart 400 illustrating operational steps of using a vibration signature as an authentication key insystem 300 shown inFIG. 3 , in accordance with a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the second exemplary embodiment, the operational steps inflowchart 400 are implemented by vibrationsignature control program 315 on router 310 (shown inFIG. 3 ) and vibrationsignature decoding program 345 on user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n (shown inFIG. 3 ). - Referring to
FIG. 4 , atstep 401, vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 activatesvibration device 317 to emit a vibration signal of a vibration signature.Vibration device 317 emits a persistent and repetitious vibration signal of the vibration signature, which is used byrouter 310 to authenticate user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n. The vibration signal can be received by vibration signal receiving devices 343-1 through 343-n which are attached onto user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n, respectively. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , atstep 403, vibrationsignature decoding program 345 on a respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n receives the vibration signal. Atstep 405, vibrationsignature decoding program 345 on the respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n decodes the vibration signature to a security set identifier (SSID) and a security key. The SSID and the security key are used to authenticate user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n. Atstep 407, vibrationsignature decoding program 345 on the respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n sends the SSID and the security key torouter 310. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , atstep 409, vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 validates the SSID and the security key, which are sent atstep 407 by vibrationsignature decoding program 345 on the respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n. Atstep 411, vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 starts a session of connecting the respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n to network 320, in response to determining that the vibration signature is authorized. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , atdecision block 413, vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 determines whether a security key change is needed. In response to determining that the security key change is needed (“YES” branch of decision block 413), vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 reiterates fromstep 401. Thus, vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310 activatesvibration device 317 to emit a vibration signal of a new vibration signature. In response to determining that the security key change is not needed (“NO” branch of decision block 413), vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310, atdecision block 415, determines whether the session of connecting the respective one of user computer devices 340-1 through 340-n to network 320 is finished. In response to determining that the session is finished (“YES” branch of decision block 415), vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310, atstep 419, discontinues the session. In response to determining that the session is not finished (“NO” branch of decision block 415), vibrationsignature control program 315 onrouter 310, atstep 417, continues the session and then reiterates fromdecision block 413. - As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, aspects of the present invention may be embodied as a system, method, or computer program product.
