Network system, data processing apparatus, and method for multi-factor authentication
First Claim
1. A network system, comprising:
- a terminal;
a system connected to the terminal via a network, the system including one or more data processing apparatuses and configured to execute a process according to a request transmitted from the terminal via the network;
a first storage unit, at the terminal or an authentication apparatus connected to the terminal, that stores first authentication data used for a first user authentication;
a first authentication unit, at the terminal or the authentication apparatus, that performs a first user authentication with respect to a user at the terminal;
a second storage unit, at the system, that stores user management data that includes specification data in association with second authentication data used for a second user authentication, the specification data identifying a user authenticated by the first authentication data, the first authentication data unit not authenticating the user by only the specification data; and
a second authentication unit, at the system, that performs the second user authentication with respect to the user at the terminal to use the system based on the specification data when the terminal sends the specification data of the authenticated user by the first user authentication and based on the second authentication data when the terminal sends the second authentication data input by the user.

Abstract
A method for processing data with a terminal and a system connected to the terminal via a network, which includes the steps of executing a process according to a request transmitted from the terminal via the network, performing a first user authentication with respect to the terminal by using the terminal or an authentication apparatus connected to the terminal via the network, storing first authentication data used for the first user authentication in association with second authentication data used for a second user authentication in a storage unit, and performing the second user authentication with respect to the system. In a case where at least a portion of the first authentication data is authenticated by the first user authentication, the second user authentication is performed by using the first and second authentication data stored in the storage unit and the portion of the first authentication data.

5. A data processing apparatus, comprising:
-
a connection unit configured to connect with a terminal, that is stored with first user authentication data used for a first user authentication by a first authentication unit at the terminal, via a network; a storage unit configured to store user management data that includes specification data in association with second authentication data used for a second user authentication, the specification data identifying a user authenticated by the first user authentication, the first authentication unit not authenticating the user by only the specification data; a first receiving unit configured to receive authenticated by the first user authentication from the terminal; and a second authentication unit that performs the second user authentication with respect to the user at the terminal to use a service based on the specification data when the terminal sends the specification data of the authenticated user by the first user authentication and based on the second authentication data when the terminal sends the second authentication data input by the user. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A method for processing data with a terminal and a system connected to the terminal via a network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
executing a process according to a request transmitted from the terminal via the network; performing a first user authentication with respect to a user at the terminal; storing user management data that includes specification data in association with second authentication data used for a second user authentication in a storage unit, the specification data identifying a user authenticated by the first user authentication, the first authentication not authenticating the user by only the specification data; and performing the second user authentication with respect to the user at the terminal to use the system based on the specification data when the terminal sends the specification data of the authenticated user by the first user authentication and based on the second authentication data when the terminal sends the second authentication data input by the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
