International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 12/06

Abstract:

A system and method for mitigating security vulnerabilities of a computer network by detecting a management status of an endpoint computing device attempting to authenticate to one or more computing resources accessible via the computer network includes: detecting an authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device to the computer network; during the authentication attempt, collecting management status indicia from the endpoint computing device, wherein the management status indicia comprise data used to determine a management status of the endpoint computing device; using the management status indicia to identify the management status of the endpoint computing device and identifying the management status of the endpoint computing device; and controlling access to the computer network based on (a) whether the authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device is successful and (b) the identified management status of the endpoint computing device.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 9/08

Abstract:

An identity server authenticates a first user identity for a user device through a first authentication exchange as part of a passwordless authentication system. The identity server registers with a relying party as an authenticator for a second user identity. The identity server initiates a second authentication exchange by obtaining from the relying party, a credential request associated with the second user identity. Responsive to a determination that the first user identity authenticated in the first authentication exchange is authorized to act as the second user identity, the identity server obtains a credential request response authenticated by the authenticator in the identity server. The identity server completes the second authentication exchange by providing the credential response to the relying party. The second authentication exchange authenticates the user device to the relying party without involving the user device.
