Method and system for enhancing user security and session persistence
First Claim
1. A method enhancing security and session persistence on a networked computing system having at least two client devices, comprising the steps of:
- authenticating a user within a proximity of a first client device using a wireless scanning device;
sending authentication data from the wireless scanning device to a security server on the networked computing system;
initiating a client session at the first client device;
automatically logging off the first client device upon leaving the proximity of the first client device and saving the client session at an application server; and
automatically authenticating and logging on the user to the client session when entering a proximity of at least one among the first client device and a second client device, wherein the second client uses a wireless scanning device to send authentication data to the security server.

Abstract
A system (10) and method (100) for enhancing security and session persistence can include the steps of authenticating (102) a user within a proximity of a first client device (19), sending (104) authentication data from a wireless scanning device (14) to a security server (16), and initiating (108) a client session at the first client device. Note, authentication data will be sent (106) from the security server to the application server. The method can further automatically log off (110) the user upon leaving the proximity and save the client session at an application server and further automatically authenticate and log-on (114) the user to the client session when entering a proximity of at least one among the first or a second client device. The method can detect (112) the presence of the user using an RFID scanner that detects an RFID tag from a badge held by the user.

8. A networked computing system having enhanced security and session persistence, comprising:
-
a radio frequency identification device containing an RFID tag carried by an authorized user of the networked computing system;
a radio frequency scanner for detecting the RFID tag within a predetermined proximity of the radio frequency scanner;
a security server coupled to the radio frequency scanner, wherein the radio frequency scanner sends a user'"'"'s information to the security server for authentication once the RFID tag is detected within the predetermined proximity and sends a request to close a client session once the RFID tag is no longer detected within the predetermined proximity;
a client device coupled to the security server and programmed to function in accordance with access instructions from the security server; and
an application server coupled to the security server, wherein the application server provides for rendering an appropriate page at the client device based on a user profile and a user location while maintaining, closing, storing and retrieving the client session as the RFID tag moves from one client device to another within the networked computing system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A machine-readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
authenticating a user within a proximity of a first client device using a wireless scanning device;
sending authentication data from the wireless scanning device to a security server on the networked computing system;
initiating a client session at the first client device;
automatically logging off the first client device upon leaving the proximity of the first client device and saving the client session at an application server; and
automatically authenticating and logging on the user to the client session when entering a proximity of at least one among the first client device and a second client device, wherein the second client uses a wireless scanning device to send authentication data to the security server. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
