System and method for facilitating multi-connection-based authentication

A system for facilitating multi-connection-based authentication, the system comprising:

• a computer system that comprises one or more processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to:
• cause first and second connections to be established between the computer system and a remote client device;
• obtain a first challenge response from the remote client device via the first connection and a second challenge response from the remote client device via the second connection, the first and second challenge responses each being generated based on a same private key stored in a secure local storage at the remote client device;
• obtain a public key corresponding to the private key from the remote client device via the first connection;
• obtain a confirmation of identification information associated with an entity, to which the private key corresponds, based on information obtained from the remote client device via the first connection;
• perform verification of the first challenge response by using the public key to verify at least a portion of the first challenge response;
• store the public key in a database based on the verification of the first challenge response;
• determine a match between (i) an identifier related to the entity stored in the database and (ii) a data item obtained via the second connection;
• perform, based on the matching, the verification of the second challenge response by using the public key to verify at least a portion of the second challenge response, wherein the public key is selected based on the matching for the verification of the second challenge response;
• and
• authenticate information obtained from the remote client device via the second connection based on (i) the obtained confirmation via the first connection and (ii) the verification of the first and second challenge responses obtained respectively via the first and second connections.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, effectuate operations comprising:

• causing first and second connections to be established between a computer system and a remote client device;
• obtaining a first challenge response from the remote client device via the first connection and a second challenge response from the remote client device via the second connection, the first and second challenge responses each being generated based on a same private key stored in a secure local storage at the remote client device;
• obtaining a public key corresponding to the private key from the remote client device via the first connection;
• obtaining a confirmation of identification information associated with an entity, to which the private key corresponds, based on information obtained from the remote client device via the first connection;
• performing verification of the first challenge response by using the public key to verify at least a portion of the first challenge response;
• storing the public key in a databased based on the verification of the first challenge response;
• determining a match between (i) an identifier related to the entity stored in the database and (ii) a data item obtained via the second connection;
• performing, based on the matching, the verification of the second challenge response by using the public key to verify at least a portion of the second challenge response, wherein the public key is selected based on the matching for the verification of the second challenge response;
• and
• authenticating information obtained from the remote client device via the second connection based on (i) the obtained confirmation via the first connection and (ii) the verification of the first and second challenge responses obtained respectively via the first and second connections.
