`INTERVIEW SUMMARY
`
`The Applicants wish to thank Examiner Abdulhakim N obahar for participating in an
`
`interview with their representatives (Mr. Fortkort, Mr. Nader Asghari—Kamrani, Mr. Karnran
`
`As ghari—Kamrani and Mr. Hewitt) on April 26, 2012. During the interview, the Applicants’
`

`
`

`
`U.S. Patent Application No. 12/210,926
`Attorney Docket No. KAMR002USO
`
`representatives discussed the differences between the prior art and the claims, in particular
`
`references by Kaliski and Hill. The Applicants brought an expert in authentication and online
`
`transactions, Mr. James Hewitt who explained how the system disclosed by Kaliski operates and
`
`highlighted the differences between the claims at issue and the prior art of Kaliski and Hill.
`
`The Applicants noted that the prior art does not teach the use of a dynamic code that is
`
`valid for a predetermined time and becomes invalid after being used, which dynamic code is
`
`provided by a trusted authenticator and used as the basis for authentication of an individual
`
`during an electronic transaction.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`The Applicant respectfully submits this application is in condition for allowance and
`
`requests issuance of a Notice of Allowance.
`
`Although not believed necessary, the Office is hereby authorized to charge any fees
`
`required under 37 C.F.R. § 1.16 or § 1.17 or credit any overpayments to the deposit account of
`
`MICHAEL P FORTKORT PC, Deposit Account No. 50-3776.
`
`In the event the prosecution of this Application can be efficiently advanced by a phone
`
`discussion, it is requested that the undersigned attorney be called at (703) 435-9390.
