Filed:

Aug 13, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/584406

Inventors:

Lawrence T. Belton - Charlotte NC, US
Brian Beaty - Waxhaw NC, US
Timothy H. Morris - Lexington NC, US
Douglas S. Rodgers - Mooresville NC, US
Lynn Allen Smith - Statesville NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 4

Abstract:

Systems and methods for device-agnostic, multi-factor network authentication are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wireless network connection can authenticate a device over secure authentication means with a certificate that confirms a device identity. After authenticating the device, a user can be prompted to provide credentials in a captive portal. The captive portal can be inaccessible to devices that have not already authenticated using a certificate. After providing approved credentials to the captive portal, the user can access the network. This embodiment and additional embodiments are readily integrated into private wireless networks and others.

Abstract:

Systems and methods that employ dynamic credentials across distinct authentication standards can be used to reduce the burden associated with repeated re-authentication. A utility can be employed during logon in an alternate operating environment that stores information from the logon dynamically and generates a credential file that is employed to grant access to a resource without repeating the earlier logon procedure, even if the device changes its user state. After processes requiring resource access are complete, or when an allowed time expires, the granted access is revoked and the device returns to a default or standard authentication technique.
