Abstract
Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) password identifiers privacy protection may be provided. A client device may receive a set of password Identifiers (IDs) over an Out-of-Band (OOB) connection. Next the computing device may select, from the set of password IDs, a password ID to be seen by an authenticator, and to be applied to an SAE exchange. The computing device may then rotate across the set of password IDs for subsequent SAE exchanges.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a set of password Identifiers (IDs) over an Out-of-Band (OOB) connection;
- selecting from the set of password IDs, by the computing device, a password ID to be seen by an authenticator, and to be applied to an Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) exchange;
- and
- rotating, by the computing device, across the set of password IDs for subsequent SAE exchanges.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a set of password Identifiers (IDs) over an Out-of-Band (OOB) connection;
- selecting from the set of password IDs, by the computing device, a password ID to be seen by an authenticator, and to be applied to an Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) exchange;
- and
- rotating, by the computing device, across the set of password IDs for subsequent SAE exchanges.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- receive a set of password Identifiers (IDs) over an Out-of-Band (OOB) connection;
- select, from the set of password IDs, a password ID to be seen by an authenticator, and to be applied to an Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) exchange;
- and
- rotate across the set of password IDs for subsequent SAE exchanges.
