Cloud-based scalable authentication for electronic devices

摘要

A method registers one or more electronic devices for a client account for a relying party with an authenticator. A request for access to one or more services for the client account is sent by a particular electronic device to the relying party. A request for authentication is sent from the relying party to the particular electronic device. The request for authentication is redirected to the authenticator. A signed response corresponding to the relying party is generated by the authenticator in response to the request for authentication. The signed response is forwarded to the relying party. Access to one or more requested services is granted.
