PROVIDING AUTHENTICATION USING PREVIOUSLY-VALIDATED AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIALS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing authentication using previously-validated authentication credentials. An exemplary apparatus is configured to receive a request to access a framework application, request, from a user, one or more authentication credentials corresponding to a primary level of user authentication, receive and validate the one or more authentication credentials, create, using the framework application, an authentication token based at least partially on the validation of the primary level of user authentication, wherein the authentication token is accessible by a plurality of applications, receive a request, from the user, to access one or more non-framework applications; and authenticate the one or more non-framework applications, where authenticating the non-framework applications requires accessing the authentication token created by the framework application such that the authentication is at least partially based on the primary level of user authentication.

主权项

1. An apparatus for providing authentication using previously-validated authentication credentials, the apparatus comprising:
a memory; a processor; and a module stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to: receive a request, from a user, to access a framework application, wherein access to the framework application requires a primary level of user authentication; request, from the user, one or more authentication credentials corresponding to the primary level of user authentication; receive the one or more authentication credentials from the user; validate the one or more authentication credentials, thereby resulting in a validation of the primary level of user authentication; create, using the framework application, an authentication token based at least partially on the validation of the primary level of user authentication, wherein the authentication token is accessible by a plurality of applications; receive a request, from the user, to access one or more non-framework applications; and authenticate the one or more non-framework applications, wherein authenticating the non-framework applications requires accessing the authentication token created by the framework application such that the authentication is at least partially based on the primary level of user authentication.
