  • Patent number: 8775810
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide a requesting device with access to a service. In one implementation, a server stores a token decryption key for validating an encrypted token. The server receives the encrypted token and a digital signature generated using a signature creation key from a client device, and decrypts the token with the token decryption key. The server extracts a signature validation key from the token, and validates the digital signature using the signature validation data. The system provides the client device with access to the service, based on whether the digital signature is validated.
