BYPASSING A USER PASSCODE WHEN ACCESSING A GATEWAY OF A VIRTUAL DISKTOP INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17867366 titled 'BYPASSING A USER PASSCODE WHEN ACCESSING A GATEWAY OF A VIRTUAL DISKTOP INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for bypassing a pass code (such as a PIN) during the authentication process of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in a virtualized computing environment.

  • The method involves a customized operating system (OS) on the client device that has pre-installed certificates and keys used for authentication.
  • These certificates and keys are protected by the PIN, but the method allows the client device to perform the authentication process without requiring the user to manually enter the PIN.
  • This is achieved through a public interface that enables the client device to access and use the certificates and keys for authentication without the need for user input.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method enables a user to bypass a pass code, such as personal identification number (PIN), when performing an authentication process between a client device and a gateway/broker of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) provided by a virtualized computing environment. A customized operating system (OS) of the client device includes pre-installed certificates and keys that are used in the authentication process and which are protected by the PIN. Through a public interface, a client device may perform the authentication process without requiring the user to manually enter the PIN.
