Authorized areas of authentication

摘要

A secure access system, including a stationary computing device that controls access to secure data over a secure network, including an authorized area of authentication (AAA) generator, generating an AAA for administering the secure data, an AAA validator, validating a mobile computing device that a request to access the secure data over the secure network, by verifying that a current location of the mobile device is within the AAA, and an access controller, enabling the mobile device to access the secure data, only in response to the validator affirmatively validating the mobile device, and a mobile computing device including a location identifier, dynamically identifying a current location of the mobile device, a connection controller for logging into the secure network, and an access requestor, submitting to the access controller via the secure network (i) an access request for the secure data, and (ii) the current location of the mobile device.

主权项

1. A system of one or more mobile devices for accessing secure data, each mobile device comprising:
circuitry for a biometric or passcode scanner, scanning a biometric or passcode of a user who is currently using the mobile device; a biometric or passcode validator, validating the biometric data or passcode scanned by said biometric or passcode scanner; circuitry for a location identifier, dynamically identifying a current location of the mobile device; a connection controller logging in to and out of a secure network; and an access requestor, submitting to a server computer via a connection over the secure network, both (i) an access request for secure data, access to which is controlled by the server, and (ii) the current location of the mobile device,wherein the server enables access to the secure data only when the current location of the mobile device is within an authorized area of authentication (AAA), andwherein, when the current location of the mobile device is not within an existing AAA:
said access requestor prompts the user who is currently using the mobile device to enter a biometric or prompts the user to enter a passcode, said biometric or passcode scanner scans the biometric or passcode entered by the user, said biometric or passcode validator validates the scanned biometric or passcode, and contingent upon said validating being affirmative, said access requestor submits to the server over the secure network, a request that the server generate a temporary AAA that includes the current location of the mobile device.
