Abstract
Various systems and methods of embedded authentication are described herein. One method of the preferred embodiment can include receiving at an authentication server a transaction token from a host website, the host website including an embeddable interface and prompting a user challenge by the authentication server at the embeddable interface. The method of the preferred embodiment can also include creating a signed authentication token in response to a successful user challenge, and transmitting the signed authentication token from the authentication server to the embeddable interface.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- initiating an authentication session at a host server that comprises prompting a host website for credentials of a first layer of authentication with the host server and generating a transaction token;
- delivering the transaction token from the host server to a host website comprising an embeddable interface;
- receiving a signed authentication token at the host server from the embeddable interface, wherein the signed authentication token is authenticated in a second layer of authentication by an authentication server in response to a user challenge delivered by the authentication server to the embeddable interface and in response to authentication of the transaction token;
- verifying the signed authentication token at the host server;
- and
- if the authentication token is successfully verified, setting an application-level state of a successful authentication.
A method comprising:
- receiving at an authentication server a transaction token from a host website, the host website comprising an embeddable interface;
- at the authentication server, authenticating the transaction token to be a transaction token from a host that indicates a successful first layer of authentication at the host server;
- prompting a user challenge of a second layer of authentication by the authentication server at the embeddable interface;
- in response to a successful user challenge and an authentic transaction token, creating a signed authentication token;
- and
- transmitting the signed authentication token from the authentication server to the embeddable interface.
A method comprising:
- receiving at an authentication server an authentication session initialization request from an embeddable interface, wherein the authentication session initialization request is generated by a virtual private network (VPN) access system in response to a successful first layer of identification;
- authenticating the authentication session initialization request at the authentication server;
- prompting a user challenge of a second layer of authentication by the authentication server at the embeddable interface;
- in response to a successful user challenge, creating a signed authentication token;
- and
- verifying the signed authentication token between the authentication server and a VPN system.
