Abstract: A mechanism to share cryptographic material across entities that may not have a direct trust relationship between or among each other, or no network connectivity, or some combination thereof, but where participating entities do share a trust relationship (or trusted connection(s)) with a common entity, sometimes referred to herein as a “conduit” entity. This technique enables such entities to leverage their trust relationship with a common “conduit” entity to share cryptographic material between or among themselves.

Abstract: A method of enabling single sign-on (SSO) access to an application executing in an enterprise, wherein authorized, secure access to specific enterprise applications are facilitated via an enterprise-based connector. In response to successful authentication of an end user via a first authentication method, a credential associated with the successful authentication is encrypted to generate an encrypted user token. The encrypted user token is then for storage in a database accessible by the enterprise-based connector. Following a redirect (e.g., from a login server instance) that returns the end user to the enterprise-based connector, the encrypted user token is fetched and decrypted recover the credential. The credential so recovered is then used to attempt to authenticate the user to an application via a second authentication method distinct from the first authentication method.
