  • Patent number: 11336634
    Abstract: A device can establish an identity for an individual by communicating with a first set of devices. The first set of devices can include a user device, a first server device associated with a certificate authority, or a second server device associated with an identity provider. The device can authenticate the identity of the individual by communicating with a second set of devices. The second set of devices can include the user device, or a third server device associated with a first service provider. The device can authorize the identity of the individual to be used by one or more service providers by communicating with a third set of devices. The third set of devices can include the user device, the third server device, or a fourth server device associated with a second service provider.

  • Publication number: 20220086154
    Abstract: A service provider may offer an identity proofing service that can be used to generate verifiable credentials (VCs) with customer-selected attributes. The VCs may use cryptographic signatures to indicate proof of identity certified by, for example, a telecommunications service provider. After a one-time process to obtain the VCs and associate them with a shell identity, the customer with a client device may use the VCs as a form of authentication for relying parties in a two-way (e.g., peer-to-peer) authentication process.

  • Patent number: 11126670
    Abstract: A network device receives credentials of a user of a client device, and receives an enrollment request from the client device, wherein the enrollment request includes a network address of the client device. The network device generates a token comprising the network address and an identifier of the user, encrypts the token, and sends the encrypted token to the client device. The network device receives, when the client device attempts to access a protected resource or a network service, the encrypted token from the client device for authenticating the client device without further requiring the credentials of the user.

  • Patent number: 9628282
    Abstract: The device may receive user information associated with a user. The device may generate a user profile for the user that stores user information and authentication confirmation information. The device may provide a particular cryptographic key and information identifying the user profile. The device may receive a request to authenticate a secure session for a user device from an application server. The device may obtain, based on the user identifier, the authentication confirmation information associated with the user from a data structure storing one or more user profiles. The device may validate the particular response to the particular challenge code based on the authentication confirmation information. The device may provide information to the application server indicating that the secure session is validated for the user device based on validating the authentication information.

  • Patent number: 9529985
    Abstract: An authentication device may provide an authentication code to a third party device. The third party device may provide a third party service to which a client device has requested access. The authentication device may receive the authentication code from a mobile device that is different from the client device. The authentication device may determine a third party device identifier included in the authentication code. The third party device identifier may identify the third party device that provides the third party service. The authentication device may determine a transaction identifier included in the authentication code. The authentication device may selectively provide the transaction identifier to the third party device, identified by the third party device identifier, to cause the third party device to selectively permit the client device to access the third party service.

  • Patent number: 9374361
    Abstract: A user device stores first authentication information used to grant access to a resource associated with a first application, and configuration information relating to a second application. The user device receives an authentication request from the second application requesting second authentication information. Based on the configuration information relating to the second application, the user device determines whether the first authentication information contains some or all of the requested second authentication information. The user device generates an authentication response to the authentication request, using the first authentication information, and sends the authentication response to the second application in order to permit access to a resource associated with the second application.
