Abstract
Mechanisms and methods are provided for managing OAuth access in a database network system, and extending the OAuth flow of authentication to securely store the OAuth encrypted refresh token in the storage available with current browsers or any other non-secure storage on user system.
Claims14
A nontransient machine readable medium storing one or more machine instructions, which when invoked cause a processor to implement a method comprising:
- at a server that includes at least a processor system having at least one processor and memory system, receiving a passcode and content;
- in response to the passcode being authenticated, and in response to the receiving of the passcode and the content, performing the following,
- placing, by the server, the content and passcode into an object;
- creating, by the server, a unique encryption key;
- encrypting, by the server, the file having the content and the passcode as plain text with the unique encryption key, to create an encrypted object;
- and
- sending from the server to the user system the encrypted object and a unique identifier for the private key and to cause the user system to store the encrypted object in a browser storage and, during future access attempts, send an encrypted token along with the passcode to access data and/or services.

A nontransient machine readable medium storing one or more machine instructions, which when invoked cause a processor to implement a method comprising:
- receiving, at a server that includes at least a processor system having at least one processor and memory system, a passcode and encrypted content and a unique key identifier;
- in response to the receiving, performing the following,
- querying a local database for the encryption key based on the key identifier;
- decrypting the encrypted content with the key;
- determining whether the passcode stored previously within the content and the passcode provided by the user match one another;
- and
- returning the decrypted content to the user if the passcode decrypted and the passcode provided by the user match one another.
