Abstract
A first user device includes a camera. The first user device receives a challenge-response message following a request for access to a secure server. The first user device captures a first image of the first user. The first image includes an image of at least a portion of a face of the first user. An authentication result from facial recognition scan of the second user is received. Facial recognition is used to determine that the face of the first user is a face of an authorized user of the secure server. The first user device generates and sends a response to the challenge-response message based on results of facial recognition and the received authentication results.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a secure server configured to host one or more secure applications;
- and
- a first user device comprising:
- a camera operable to capture a first image of a first user of the user device;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to:
- receive a challenge-response message associated with a request for access to the secure server;
- receive a first image of the first user, wherein the first image comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the first user;
- receive a second image of a second user of a second user device and an authentication result determined by the second user device, wherein the second image comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the second user;
- determine that the face of the first user included in the first image corresponds to a face of an authorized user of the secure server;
- determine that the authentication result indicates that the face of the second user corresponds to the face of the authorized administrator of the secure server;
- and
- generate a response to the challenge-response message that indicates the first user is authorized to access the secure server.
A method comprising:
- receiving a challenge-response message associated with a request for access to a secure server;
- receiving a first image that comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the first user;
- receiving a second image of a second user of a second user device and an authentication result determined by the second user device, wherein the second image comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the second user;
- determining that the face of the first user included in the first image corresponds to a face of an authorized user of the secure server;
- determining that the authentication result indicates that the face of the second user corresponds to the face of the authorized administrator of the secure server;
- and
- generating a response to the challenge-response message that indicates the first user is authorized to access the secure server.
A device comprising:
- a camera operable to capture a first image of a first user of the user device;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to:
- receive a challenge-response message associated with a request for access to the secure server,
- receive a first image of the first user, wherein the first image comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the first user;
- receive a second image of a second user of a second user device and an authentication result determined by the second user device, wherein the second image comprises an image of at least a portion of a face of the second user,;
- determine that the image of the face of the first user included in the first image corresponds to a face of an authorized user of the secure server;
- determine that the authentication result indicates that the face of the second user corresponds to the face of the authorized administrator of the secure server;
- and
- generate a response to the challenge-response message that indicates the first user is authorized to access the secure server.
