METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING DERIVED CREDENTIALS TO AUTHENTICATE A DEVICE ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

摘要

Methods and systems for adapting existing service provider servers to support two-factor authentication by leveraging an authentication server, which may be operated by a third party. Where a user desires to access content or services offered by a service provider server, the user may employ a client agent (for example, a web browser) in order to authenticate with the service provider server. Service provider server can redirect client agent to an authentication server to process at least a second factor or derived credential.
