摘要:
A method and an apparatus with computer readable media for creation of a common token, with at least one associated usage limitation, for authenticating a user within a multiple website environment are disclosed. The methodology employs a secured user authentication mechanism, for example, as a common token representative of the user, to be used in the authentication of a user and for performing secure online network transactions by the authenticated user in a multiple website environment. The common token can be used at a first website to perform a business, financial, or personal transaction for example; and then, the common token can be used again at a second website, a third website, etc. to perform one or more tasks on behalf of the authenticated user and within the token's usage or associated limitations.
摘要:
A method of authenticating an entity includes associating a local identity of the entity with a global identity of the entity, the local identity being associated with a first one of a plurality of restricted access zones, associating the global identity of the entity with particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones for granting access to the particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones, receiving an authentication request from the entity to access a second one of the plurality of access zones where the authentication request includes the local identity of the entity, and authenticating the entity for access to the second one of the plurality of access zones responsive to receiving the authentication request when the second one of the plurality of restricted access zones is one of the particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones that are associated with the global identity of the entity,

摘要:
A user's identity is authenticated by evaluating the identity of the user using a plurality of authentication techniques, the plurality of authentication techniques generating a plurality of numerical confidence indicators, respectively, of the identity of the user, associating a plurality of authentication technique weights with the plurality of numerical confidence indicators, respectively, and calculating a weighted combination of the respective numerical confidence indicators using the plurality of authentication technique weights to generate a composite numerical confidence indicator of the identity of the user.

摘要:
An authentication management platform that enables authentication systems from various vendors to be integrated into a single service offering. The disclosed arrangement can support multiple, distinct customers and multiple primary authentication servers on a single platform. The management platform provides access only to users that enter a valid passcode comprising both: (1) a personal identification number (PIN) and (2) the current code generated by a security token card assigned to that user. The authentication management platform may be configured to be controlled and maintained by the subscriber to the system, or may be serviced/maintained by a third party service provider.
