Patent number: 11683187Abstract: In embodiments, an authentication server interfaces between a user device with a self-signed certificate and a verifying computer that accepts a user name and password. The user device generates a self-signed certificate signed by a private key on the user device. The self-signed certificate is transmitted to a verifying party computer over a network. The verifying party stores the self-signed certificate with user identification data. The user migrates trust to another device by providing the root certificate and intermediate certificate as a certificate chain to a second device, which then adds a new intermediate certificate to create a longer certificate chain with the same root certificate. In subsequent communications, the verifying party receives a certificate chain including the self-signed certificate from the second user device, and matches that with the user identification data stored in a database.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Beyond Identity, Inc.Inventors: Nelson Melo, Michael Clark, James Clark

Legacy authentication for user authentication with self-signed certificate and identity verification
Patent number: 10873468Abstract: In embodiments, an authentication server interfaces between a user device with a self-signed certificate and a verifying computer that accepts a user name and password. The user device generates a self-signed certificate signed by a private key on the user device. The self-signed certificate is transmitted to a verifying party computer over a network. A redirecting module redirects the self-signed certificate chain to an authentication server. The authentication server is also provided a user name, password and verifying computer address, which is stored in a password database by the authentication server, in association with the self-signed certificate. Subsequent communications intended for the verifying computer with the self-signed certificate are redirected to the authentication server, which looks up the associated user name and password and transmits the associated user name and password to the verifying computer.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Beyond Identity Inc.Inventors: Nelson Melo, Michael Clark, James Clark -
