Apparatus, Systems and Method for Virtual Desktop Access and Management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A virtual desktop access and management system for accessing a desktop interface from a second computing device, the system comprising:
- a virtual desktop key including a token and an open payload portion, the token communicatively linking the second computing device with an encrypted security file;
where validating the token provides access to the encrypted security file and where authenticating the encrypted security file opens the payload portion of the virtual desktop key, where the payload portion is communicatively linked to a first computing device over a network.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for accessing and managing a virtual desktop. In some examples a desktop access manager may be provided to enable and communicatively link a virtual desktop key such that a user may access a linked desktop virtually over a second computing device. The systems and methods provide increased security when accessing a virtual desktop and enable customization of access to the virtual desktop.

9. A method for remotely accessing a first computing device from a second computing device, the computing devices in communication via a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a virtual desktop key into a communication port of the second computing device communicatively linked to the network; verifying a token of the virtual desktop key through the network, the token including a unique identifier associated with the virtual desktop key; receiving an encrypted security file; and authenticating a user of the virtual desktop key through the encrypted security file, and if authentication is verified; launching an application to connect the second computing device to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device is accessed through a virtual desktop displayed on the second computing device, wherein the virtual desktop is a gateway to the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for remotely accessing a first computing device from a second computing device, the computing devices in communication with a virtual desktop manager via a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a virtual desktop key into a communication port of the second computing device; connecting the second computing device to the desktop access manager; sending a token from the virtual desktop key to the desktop access manager to validate the virtual desktop key, the token including a unique identifier associated with the virtual desktop key; receiving token validation from the desktop access manager if the token is verified; receiving an encrypted security file from the desktop access manager; and authenticating a user of the virtual desktop key, and if authentication is verified; launching an application to connect the second computing device to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device is accessed through a virtual desktop displayed on the second computing device, wherein the virtual desktop is a gateway to the first computing device.
