Method and Apparatus for User Identity Verification

摘要

The present disclosure describes a method and apparatus for user identity verification as a user migrates amongst systems, servers, computing environments and/or segments within a cloud computing environment. A user currently accessing a first system seeks to migrate from the first system to a target system. The target system validates whether the user may access the target system based on a first private key and a first public key. A verification system maintains a second public key that is based on an identity of the user and inaccessible to the user. The verification system receives a second private key from an initial system of the user. Based on the second private/public keys, the verification system sends a validation of user identity to the target system.
