Claims20
A method of authenticating a web-based application, the method comprising:
- registering a mobile communication device for an authentication account at a remote authentication platform;
- and
- at the remote authentication platform comprising an Internet-accessible server hosted on a distributed computing system:
- receiving from a client, via a first communication channel, transaction data relating to an attempt by a user to access the web-based application via the client;
- identifying the authentication account associated with the mobile communication device based on the transaction data;
- determining a second communication channel for authenticating the client, the second communication channel being different from the first communication channel;
- responsive to identifying the authentication account, transmitting to the mobile communication device, via the second communication channel, an authentication message;
- receiving, via the second communication channel, a response to the authentication message from the mobile communication device;
- and
- transmitting to the client, via the first communication channel, a confirmation or a denial of the attempt to access the web-based application based on the response to the authentication message from the client.
