  • Method and system for providing a federated authentication service with gradual expiration of credentials
    Patent number: 8281379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of authentication of users of services over a computer network, more specifically within the paradigms of federated authentication or single sign-on. A known technique consists of associating different trust levels to different authentication mechanisms, wherein the respective trust levels give access to different information resources, notably to provide the possibility to protect more sensitive resources with a stronger form of authentication. The present invention provides a mechanism to allow the trust level to decrease without re-authenticating with the single sign on system, down to the level at which it is no longer sufficient to obtain access to a desired resource. Only then, the user needs to reauthenticate.
