US 11,606,347 B2 · Determining session duration for device authentication

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for authenticating a user device for a session. For instance, an authentication entity may authenticate a user device using single sign-on authentication and/or multi-factor authentication. The authentication entity may then determine a duration for which the user device is authenticated for the session. For example, the authentication entity may receive information representing a state of an environment of the user device. The authentication entity may then use the information to identify one or more transitions associated with the environment between the session and a previous session. Using the one or more transitions, the authentication entity may determine the duration for the session by increasing or decreasing a previous duration associated with the previous session.

Dependent claims

One or more devices comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining a first duration associated with authenticating a user device during a first session;
receiving credentials associated with a user account;
authenticating the user device for a second session based at least in part on the credentials;
receiving information associated with a transition in an environment of the user device between the first session and the second session;
determining, based at least in part on the information, a second duration by increasing or decreasing the first session, the second duration associated with authenticating the user device during the second session;
generating data representing at least the second duration;
and
sending the data to the user device.
