Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for authenticating a user to a network. In response to receiving a request from a user to access a protected resource, the process sends a unique bit sequence into a network connection utilized by the user. Next, the process authenticates the user to access the protected resource in response to receiving a verification that the unique bit sequence was received by an access point that authenticated the user when the user logged on to the network.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for authenticating a user to a network, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to receiving a request from the user to access a protected resource, sending a unique bit sequence into a network connection utilized by the user;
- and
- responsive to receiving a verification that the unique bit sequence has been received by an access point that authenticated the user when the user logged on to the network, authenticating the user to access the protected resource.
A computer implemented method for authenticating a user to a network, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to receiving a request from the user to access a protected resource, sending an Internet protocol address used by the user to an authentication server;
- and
- responsive to receiving login information for the user from the authentication server, authenticating the user using the login information.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium including computer usable program code for authenticating a user to a network, said computer program product comprising:
- computer usable program code for sending a unique bit sequence into a network connection utilized by the user in response to receiving a request from the user to access a protected resource;
- and
- computer usable program code for authenticating the user to access the protected resource in response to receiving a verification that an origin security check package was received by an access point that authenticated the user when the user logged on to the network.
A system for authenticating a user to a network, the system comprising:
- a protected resource, wherein the protected resource sends a unique bit sequence into a network connection utilized by the user to determine if the user is an authorized user, and wherein the protected resource notifies an authentication server that the unique bit sequence has been sent.
