Continuous multi-factor authentication
First Claim
1. A computing device comprising:
- processor;
a non-transitory machine-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor; and
instructions in the machine-readable medium which, when executed by the processor, enable the computing device to;
generate a continuous authentication assertion which indicates that the computing device is continuously monitoring authentication of a user according to a reference time interval, wherein the continuous authentication assertion comprises factor information identifying at least one authenticate factor that was used to authenticate the user;
send the continuous authentication assertion to a key distribution center server;
after sending the continuous authentication assertion to the key distribution center server, receive a ticket from the key distribution center server; and
after receiving the ticket from the key distribution center server, use the ticket to obtain access to a service provider server.

Abstract
Technologies for continuously authenticating a user via multiple authentication factors include a computing device for generating a continuous authentication assertion indicating that continuous authentication of a user is being monitored, sending the continuous authentication assertion to a key distribution center server, and requesting and receiving an initial ticket from the key distribution center server. Such technologies may also include requesting a service ticket from the key distribution center server for accessing a service provider server, receiving a service ticket from the key distribution center server including the continuous authentication assertion, requesting access to the service provider server with the service ticket including the continuous authentication assertion, and accessing the service provider server in response to the continuous authentication assertion being verified.
