  • Patent number: 11956228
    Abstract: A system and method for granting access to network resources through access credentials given to an agent process running on each computer or machine where resource requesters reside. The system extends a traditional token-granting authorization system to the agent processes, where each agent has administrative access to machine information. The agent uses that access to acquire detailed information about resource requesters. Requester qualifications defined by the system limit requester access to resources, and are enforced both by the agent and by the central system on the network resource server. Resource requesters ask for a token for resource use from the agent, not the central system. The agent uses its credentials to get a token from the central system and then return the token to qualified requesters.

  • Patent number: 11870801
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for mitigating network-based attacks, brute-force attacks, enumeration account takeover type attacks, and generally attacks that might result in unauthorized access to user accounts, denial-of-service, loss of functionality to users, etc. Authenticating a user at an end-point of a network may occur using an activator. In some instances, an authentication module (e.g. on a server) receives and validates a key activator. If the key activator is valid, the authentication module is activated. After the authentication module is activated, the authentication module may receive and authenticate a security credential, such as a password, that is associated with the user. If the authentication module receives the security credential without being activated, the authentication module may not authenticate the security credential, even if the security credential is a valid credential.
