Two-Factor Authentication Systems And Methods - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232543 titled 'Two-Factor Authentication Systems And Methods
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for authentication in which user credentials are received from an application and packaged with a device identification by an authentication process. The device identification is hidden from the application. The packaged user credentials and device identification are then transmitted to an authentication server for verification. Once the user credentials are authenticated, the indication of authentication is forwarded from the authentication process to the application.
- Method for authentication in computing devices
- User credentials received from an application
- Authentication process is isolated from the application
- User credentials packaged with device identification
- Device identification hidden from the application
- Packaged user credentials and device identification transmitted to authentication server
- Indication of authentication received from authentication server
- Indication of authentication forwarded to the application
Original Abstract Submitted
A method including: receiving, from an application executing on a computing device and by an authentication process executing on the computing device, data representative of user credentials corresponding to the application, the authentication process being isolated from the application; packaging, by the authentication process, the data representative of user credentials with a device identification assigned to the computing device and an indication that the user credentials correspond to the application, the device identification being hidden from the application; outputting for transmission, by the authentication process and to an authentication server, an authentication request containing the packaged user credentials and device identification; receiving, by the authentication process and from the authentication server, an indication of authentication of the user credentials; and forwarding the received indication from the authentication process to the application.
