Abstract
A method at an authentication server for multi-factor authentication of an electronic device, the method including receiving at the authentication server a request for authentication of the electronic device; sending information to the electronic device; receiving a response based on the information sent to the electronic device, the response further including an authentication time limit; authenticating the response; and storing the response and time limit upon verification of the response.
Claims23
A method at an authentication server for multi-factor authentication of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving at the authentication server a request for authentication of the electronic device;
- sending information to the electronic device;
- receiving a response based on the information sent to the electronic device, the response further including an authentication time limit;
- authenticating the response;
- and
- storing the response and time limit upon verification of the response.
An authentication server for multi-factor authentication of an electronic device, the authentication server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem,
- wherein the authentication server is configured to:
- receive server a request for authentication of the electronic device;
- send information to the electronic device;
- receive a response based on the information sent to the electronic device, the response further including an authentication time limit;
- authenticate the response;
- and
- store the response and time limit upon verification of the response.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions in code which when executed by a processor of an authentication server cause the authentication server to:
- receive a request for authentication of an electronic device;
- send information to the electronic device;
- receive a response based on the information sent to the electronic device, the response further including an authentication time limit;
- authenticate the response;
- and
- store the response and time limit upon verification of the response.
A method for multi-factor authentication of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- sending, from the electronic device to an authentication server, a request for authentication;
- providing, from the electronic device to an authentication server, a token signed by the electronic device along with a time limit for the authentication;
- and
- receiving a confirmation from the authentication server that authentication of the electronic device was successful.
