Abstract
The technology described herein detects a first device associated with a user that is within a detectable range of a second device. The system requests authentication information. In response to receiving the authentication information, a token generator associated with the user can generate a secure token. The secure token can be sent to the server. Once the secure token is verified, the user is granted access to one or more services.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- detecting a first device associated with a user within a detectable range of a second device;
- requesting authentication information based on an authentication challenge indicated in a user profile associated with the first device;
- receiving the authentication information;
- in response to receiving the authentication information, installing a token generator on the second device;
- generating, by the token generator associated with the user, a secure token, wherein the token generator is stored on the second device;
- sending, to a server, the secure token and a time stamp associated with the secure token;
- and
- granting, to the user, access to one or more services in response to receiving a verification of the secure token.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a machine to:
- detect a first device associated with a user within a detectable range of a second device;
- request authentication information based on an authentication challenge indicated in a user profile associated with the first device;
- receive the authentication information;
- in response to receiving the authentication information, install a token generator on the second device;
- generate, by the token generator associated with the user, a secure token,
- wherein the token generator is stored on the second device;
- send, to a server, the secure token and a time stamp associated with the secure token;
- and
- grant, to the user, access to one or more services in response to receiving a verification of the secure token.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operable to execute software modules, the software modules comprising:
- a detection module configured to:
- detect a first device associated with a user within a detectable range of a second device;
- an authentication request module configured to:
- request authentication information based on an authentication challenge indicated in a user profile associated with the first device,
- receive the authentication information,
- in response to receiving the authentication information, installing a token generator on the second device;
- generate, by the token generator associated with the user, a secure token,
- wherein the token generator is stored on the second device,
- send, to a server, the secure token and a time stamp associated with the secure token;
- and
- a logon module configured to:
- grant, to the user, access to one or more services in response to receiving a verification of the secure token.
