DELEGATION BASED ACCESS TO SECURE SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380752 titled 'DELEGATION BASED ACCESS TO SECURE SYSTEMS

The system described in the patent application allows users to authenticate themselves using an authentication device, such as a smart card, and then access a personalized virtual machine without the need for repeated authentication.

• The system generates an access token during user authentication.
• A personalized virtual machine is assigned to the user.
• The access token is exchanged for a temporary certificate with an expiry time.
• The temporary certificate, containing verifiable user identity, is provided to the personalized virtual machine.
• The user is granted access to the personalized virtual machine.
• The user can connect to various systems without re-authenticating using the authentication device.
• Subsequent connection requests are denied after the expiry time of the temporary certificate.

Potential Applications: - Secure access control systems - Remote work environments - Cloud computing services
