Authentication translation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to;
receive, at an authentication translator at a device, an authentication input and an indication of a request, by a user of the device, to access a resource external to the device;
in response to determining, by the authentication translator at the device, a match using the received authentication input, obtain access to a record stored on the device, wherein the record is associated at least with the external resource;
retrieve, from the stored record accessed at least in part by determining, by the authentication translator at the device, the match using the received authentication input, a previously stored credential associated with the external resource, wherein the previously stored credential is different from the received authentication input, and wherein the previously stored credential retrieved from the record stored on the device comprises at least one of a cryptographic key and a cookie;
establish a connection between the device and the external resource to which the user requested access; and
facilitate a login of the user to the external resource at least in part by transmitting, on behalf of the user, from the device and via the established connection, output based at least in part on the at least one of the cryptographic key and the cookie retrieved from the record accessed at least in part by determining, by the authentication translator at the device, the matching using the received authentication input, wherein the user of the device is logged into the external resource based at least in part on the output transmitted from the device on behalf of the user; and
a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.

Abstract
Authentication translation is disclosed. A request to access a resource is received at an authentication translator, as is an authentication input. The authentication input corresponds to at least one stored record. The stored record is associated at least with the resource. In response to the receiving, a previously stored credential associated with the resource is accessed. The credential is provided to the resource.

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at an authentication translator at a device, an authentication input and an indication of a request, by a user of the device, to access a resource external to the device; in response to determining, by the authentication translator at the device, a match using the received authentication input, obtaining access to a record stored on the device, wherein the record is associated at least with the external resource; retrieving, from the stored record accessed at least in part by determining, by the authentication translator at the device, the match using the received authentication input, a previously stored credential associated with the external resource, wherein the previously stored credential is different from the received authentication input, and wherein the previously stored credential retrieved from the record stored on the device comprises at least one of a cryptographic key and a cookie; establishing, using one or more processors, a connection between the device and the external resource to which the user requested access; and facilitating a login of the user to the external resource at least in part by transmitting, on behalf of the user, from the device and via the established connection, output based at least in part on the at least one of the cryptographic key and the cookie retrieved from the record accessed at least in part by determining, by the authentication translator at the device, the match using the received authentication input, wherein the user of the device is logged into the external resource based at least in part on the output transmitted from the device on behalf of the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
