  • Patent number: 11625476
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for requesting a plurality of credentials from a trusted entity. A local validation device (LVD) receives a credential request or an identifier from each of a plurality of user devices. The LVD generates or compiles a bundle of credential requests corresponding to the plurality of user devices. The LVD transmits the bundle of credentials requests to the MVD. The MVD receives the bundle of request and performs a validation for each request in the bundle and then communicates the credentials and/or the results of the validations to the LVD. The LVD communicates credentials to each of the plurality of user devices. In some cases, the LVD performs the validation for each credential request. For instance, the LVD can receive a local enforcement policy from the MVD, which can provide instructions or guidance to the LVD as to how to perform the validations.

  • Patent number: 9882965
    Abstract: Techniques for network process identity enablement are provided. Inter-server communications within a network are intercepted so that unique identity-based information is gathered and recorded before a sending process is permitted to release a communication over the network to a receiving process. Moreover, the receiving process cannot process the communication being sent until identifying information is gathered again and independently validated against the prior recorded information.
