Assignee:

Indigo Identityware, Inc. - Edina MN

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713189

Abstract:

A multiple user desktop graphical identification and authentication configured as a loadable dynamic link library (DLL) intended to replace the default Microsoft graphical identification and authentication. It has the ability to create secure, private logon sessions for each user that logs on to the system. There can be up to at least thirteen users logged in at the same time and each user will have their own desktop environment. Auto log off functions may be set based on time of inactivity and/or number of individual users. The multiple user desktop graphical identification and authentication functions in a domain and non-networked environments and needs no added hardware.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709229000

Abstract:

A secure message facility transfers authentication data between various applications, operating systems, and authentication devices and software in the form of messages. These messages comprise a data structure with a standard header with fields that describe the class, length, and type of message, and routing information. This header information is used to route the message to the appropriate handler. The messages are transferred between applications via the messaging facility DLL and the messaging facility Service. The messaging facility DLL is intended to be loaded by an application. The messaging facility DLL forms the messages, directs them to the appropriate messaging facility service (local or remote) and interprets the responses. The messages sent between the messaging facility DLL and messaging facility Service are extremely flexible and can be used to send any type of data or content of messages.

Appl. No.:

13/490298

Inventors:

Robert John Hoghaug - Prior Lake MN, US

Assignee:

Indigo Identityware - Edina MN

International Classification:

G06F 21/20

US Classification:

726 5

Abstract:

Various systems and methods for implementing password-free authentication are described herein. A request to access a network resource is received at a server, from a client device. The request is verified, and an authentication reservation is created for the device, with the authentication reservation allowing the device to access the network resource. Later, when an attempt to access the network resource is received, the attempt is granted access to the network resource in response to matching information contained in the attempt with information stored in the authentication reservation.
