US 12,003,643 B2 · Systems and methods for verifying or ensuring communication paths

Abstract

In some instances, a method for verifying communication paths is provided. The method comprises: obtaining, from a first user device, a request to access content associated with a relying party system, wherein the request indicates user credentials and a first session identifier (ID); obtaining one or more quick response (QR) codes and a second session ID associated with a first QR code of the one or more QR codes, wherein the relying party system generates and provides the first QR code to the first user device; and verifying the first session ID and the second session ID, wherein the relying party system grants the first user device access to the requested content based on the verification.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

based on a request from a first user device to access content associated with a relying party system, obtaining, by a second user device, a first quick response (QR) code and a second QR code, wherein the request indicates user credentials and a first session identifier (ID), wherein the relying party system generates and provides the first QR code to the first user device, and wherein the second QR code is a dynamic QR code that is generated based on the first session ID indicated by the first QR code;
verifying, based on the obtained first QR code and the obtained second QR code, the first session ID and a second session ID;
and
granting the first user device access to the requested content based on the verification.

1 more element

A system, comprising:

a first user device configured to:
provide, to a relying party system via a mailbox system, a request to access content associated with the relying party system, wherein the request indicates user credentials and a first session identifier (ID);
display a first quick response (QR) code generated by the relying party system, wherein the first QR code indicates the first session ID;
generate a second QR code based on the first session ID indicated by the first QR code, wherein the second QR code is a dynamic QR code that is different from the first QR code;
and
display the second QR code;
a second user device configured to:
scan the first QR code and the second QR code displayed on the first user device;
determine the first session ID from the first QR code;
determine a second session ID from the second QR code;
compare the first session ID and the second session ID;
and
provide, to the relying party system via the mailbox system, verification information indicating that the first user device is authorized to access the content on the relying party system based on the comparison;
and
the relying party system configured to:
receive the verification information from the second user device;
and
grant access to the first user device for the requested content based on the verification information.
