Abstract
A method and a communication network are disclosed. The method comprises detecting, by a computing device of a trusted computing system, an input event indicating that an individual at the computing device wishes to authenticate their identity, responsive to said detecting, determining, by the computing device, at least one property for an authentication request that enables an authentication provider module that is external to the trusted computing system to authenticate the identity of the individual independently of the trusted computing system, and responsive to said determining, generating, by the computing device, the authentication request, wherein the authentication request comprises data indicative of said at least one property.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating an authentication request for authenticating an identity of an individual, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device of a trusted computing system, an input event indicating that an individual at the computing device wishes to authenticate their identity;
- responsive to said detecting, determining, by the computing device, at least one property for an authentication request for use by an authentication provider module on a non-trusted computing system that is coupled to a separate mobile device of the individual and to the trusted computing system, the authentication provider module performing authentication of the identity of the individual independently of the trusted computing system;
- and
- responsive to said determining, generating, by the computing device, the authentication request, wherein the authentication request comprises data indicative of said at least one property.
A communication network, comprising:
- a trusted computing system comprising a computing device;
- a non-trusted computing system comprising an authentication provider module executing on a computing device that is coupled to a separate mobile device of the individual and to the trusted computing system, the authentication provider module configured to perform authentication of an identity of the individual independently of the trusted computing system;
- wherein the computing device is configured to:
- detect an input event indicating that an individual at the computing device wishes to authenticate their identity;
- determine at least one property for an authentication request for use by the authentication provider module in authenticating the identity of the individual independently of the trusted computing system;
- and
- generate the authentication request, wherein the authentication request comprises data indicative of said at least one property.
