Session manager for secured remote computing
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a processor enabled to access a memory media;
a network interface accessible to the processor; and
the memory media storing instructions executable by the processor to;
responsive to a predetermined event detected at the computing device, transmit, from the computing device to a second computing device via the network interface, a lock session signal for locking a communications session over a first channel between the computing device and the second computing device, wherein the lock session signal instructs the second computing device to block the first channel;
prompt a user at the computing device for identification information associated with the communications session;
transmit the identification information to the second computing device using a second channel different from the first channel; and
when the identification information is authenticated, receive an unlock session signal from the second computing device indicating that the second computing device has enabled the first channel,wherein the predetermined event comprises an absence of manual input from the user.

Abstract
A method for managing a session between a local computing device and a remote computing device, in which a session is established between a local computing device and a remote computing device, a lock session signal is transmitted from the remote computing device to the local computing device, a lock session signal is received at the local computing device, and the session is locked, at the local computing device. Furthermore, the user is prompted for identification information at the remote computing device, and the identification information is transmitted from the remote computing device to the local computing device. Moreover, the identification information is received at the local computing device, the identification information is authenticated at the local computing device, and the session is unlocked, at the local computing device.
