  • Centralized authentication server for providing cross-domain resources via a rest-based tunnel
    Patent number: 9961062
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, an authentication server provides a secure communication pathway between a client device and a service provider. The authentication server has been previously authenticated with the service provider and establishes a tunnel for receiving requested information from the service provider. The tunnel is implemented according to Representational State Transfer (“REST”) principles, so the client device can send one or more REST requests to the authentication server, which then redirects such requests to the service provider via the established tunnel. In addition, the client device may be previously authenticated with the authentication server such that the client device does not need to explicitly authenticate to the service provider each time information is requested.
