Global authentication service using a global user identifier

摘要

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.

1. An authentication device, comprising:
a memory to store instructions; and one or more processors to execute the instructions to:
receive a request for a Quick Response (QR) code,
the QR code being associated with a request, by a client device, to access a third party service;generate the QR code;provide the QR code to a third party device based on the client device requesting access to the third party service,
the third party device providing the third party service to which the client device has requested access, andthe third party device providing the QR code to the client device;receive, from a mobile device, the QR code,
the mobile device being different from the client device, andthe mobile device and the client device being associated with a user;determine a third party device identifier included in the QR code,
the third party device identifier identifying the third party device that provides the third party service;determine a mobile device identifier that identifies the mobile device;search a data structure of the authentication device to identify a global user identifier associated with the mobile device identifier,
the global user identifier being associated with a plurality of local user profiles of the user,
each local user profile, of the plurality of local user profiles of the user, being associated with a particular third party service of a plurality of third party services;determine a transaction identifier included in the QR code; andselectively provide the transaction identifier and the global user 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,
the global user identifier being used to identify a local user profile in the third party device,
the local user profile being used to access the third party service, the third party service being one of the plurality of third party services, andthe local user profile being one of the plurality of local user profiles of the user.
