Abstract
A system, method, and program embodied in a computer readable medium are provided for parameter authentication. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of examining an authenticated parameter table to determine whether an unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein, and, bypassing authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table.
Claims19
A method for parameter authentication, comprising:
- examining an authenticated parameter table to determine whether an unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein;
- and
- bypassing authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table.
A system for parameter authentication, comprising:
- a processor circuit with a processor and a memory;
- an authenticated parameter table stored in the memory;
- authentication logic stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the authentication logic comprising:
- logic that examines the authenticated parameter table to determine whether an unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein;
- and
- logic that bypasses the authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table.
A program embodied in a computer readable medium for parameter authentication, comprising:
- code that generates an authenticated parameter table;
- code that examines the authenticated parameter table to determine whether an unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein;
- and
- code that bypasses the authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table.
A system for parameter authentication, comprising:
- means for maintaining an authenticated parameter table;
- means for examining the authenticated parameter table to determine whether an unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein;
- and
- means for bypassing the authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table.
A method for parameter authentication, comprising:
- obtaining the unauthenticated user parameter from a user by way of a user interface;
- examining an authenticated parameter table to determine whether the unauthenticated user parameter is listed therein;
- bypassing authentication of the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is listed in the authenticated parameter table;
- authenticating the unauthenticated user parameter if the unauthenticated user parameter is not listed in the authenticated parameter table;
- and
- storing the authenticated user parameter in the authenticated parameter table upon a successful authentication thereof.
