Method and apparatus for single sign-on collaboration among mobile devices

摘要

A system for, and method of, single sign-on collaboration among a plurality of mobile devices, includes a server for issuing a first identity token to subsequently authenticate a user of a first of the mobile devices to a service provider, and for generating and sending a collaboration credential to the first device based on the first identity token or user authentication. The first device sends the collaboration credential generated by the server to a second device paired with the first device. The server also issues a second identity token to subsequently authenticate to the service provider the user of the second device based on the collaboration credential received from the first device, to support single sign-on collaboration for the user across the plurality of mobile devices.
