  abstract =     { In one embodiment of a user authentication system
                  and method according to the invention, a device
                  shares a secret, referred to as a master seed, with
                  a server. The device and the server both derive one
                  or more secrets, referred to as verifier seeds, from
                  the master seed, using a key derivation
                  function. The server shares a verifier seed with one
                  or more verifiers. The device, or an entity using
                  the device, can authenticate with one of the
                  verifiers using the appropriate verifier seed. In
                  this way, the device and the verifier can share a
                  secret, the verifier seed for that verifier, without
                  that verifier knowing the master seed, or any other
                  verifier seeds. Thus, the device need only store the
                  one master seed, have access to the information
                  necessary to correctly derive the appropriate seed,
                  and have seed derivation capability. A verifier
                  cannot compromise the master seed, because the
                  verifier does not have access to the master seed.
