Several embodiments of computer security systems are described and which
are adapted to grant an authorized individual access to a secured domain,
such as a computer or data stream. In one embodiment, the security system
comprises: an analyzing means for receiving first and second passwords,
each of said passwords being transmitted over a first communication
channel, analyzing said first password, transmitting a first signal
output only if said first password is authorized, and granting access to
said secured domain only if said second password is substantially
identical to a code; and a random code generating means for generating
said code, transmitting said code over a second communication channel
upon receipt of first signal output, and transmitting said code to said
analyzing means; and a notification means for receiving said code and for
notifying said authorized individual of the identity of said code.
