REGULATING ACCESS USING INFORMATION REGARDING A HOST MACHINE OF A PORTABLE STORAGE DRIVE

摘要

Described herein are techniques for regulating access to a remote resource using two-factor authentication based on information regarding a host machine of a portable storage drive that stores an operating system that is booted by the host machine. The information regarding the host machine of a portable storage drive may be used as a second factor in a two-factor authentication. Such information regarding the host machine may include, in some embodiments, information retrieved from a secure storage of the host machine, such as from a cryptoprocessor of the host machine. The information may include an identifier for the host machine or may be a user credential pre-provisioned to the host machine to be used in two-factor authentication.
