TECHNIQUES TO AUTHENTICATE USER REQUESTS INVOLVING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Techniques to authenticate user requests involving multiple applications are described. An apparatus may comprise a logic circuit, and a user interface component operative on the logic circuit to present to a user content from a primary application, handle user commands directed to the primary application, and verify the user to a secondary application using an identifier value that is generated by the primary application for authenticating the user. In one embodiment, the user interface component submits the identifier value to the secondary application in a request for certain content. After determining whether the identifier value is valid, the secondary application provides the requested content or deny the user's request. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
