A distributed computer system and server architecture transmitting an electronic ticket over the system, such as the Internet, enabling a user to be authenticated and authorized for a requested operation. An “eticket” architecture (including identification information) is generated by, for example, an authentication server. The information in the eticket is hashed using, for example, a Message Digest Protocol, and a hash number is generated. The hash number is then encrypted by the authentication server using a private key, and the identification information in the eticket and the encrypted hash number are concatenated by the authentication server to generate a completed “eticket” architecture. The “eticket” may then be transmitted over the Internet (i.e., a non-secure environment) from server to server without having the information in the “eticket” altered, and without having to “reauthenticate” the user at each server.
A distributed computer system and server architecture for transmitting an electronic ticket used for verifying user authorization and authentication to provide a session and a state environment over the distributed computer system and server architecture, comprising:
A method for using an electronic ticket generated on a distributed computer system and server architecture for verifying user authorization and authentication to provide a session and a state environment, comprising the steps of:
A distributed computer system and server architecture for transmitting an electronic ticket used for verifying user authorization and authentication on a transaction by transaction basis to provide a session and a state environment over the distributed computer system and server architecture, comprising:
A method for using an electronic ticket for verifying user authorization to provide a session and a state environment on a transaction by transaction basis, comprising the steps of:
