System and method for peer to peer mobile contextual authentication
First Claim
1. A contextual authentication system, comprising:
- an authentication server, which comprises a memory; and
an authentication application, wherein said authentication application is configured to be run on at least a primary personal computing device and one or more secondary personal computing devices;
wherein said primary personal computing device and said one or more secondary personal computing devices are networked with an intermediate host;
wherein said intermediate host comprises a presentation;
wherein said presentation comprises one or more tagged resources;
wherein said intermediate host, via a second channel, presents said one or more tagged resources to said one or more secondary personal computing devices;
wherein a direct connection is initiated between said primary personal computing device and said one or more secondary personal computing devices;
wherein said authentication application running on said primary personal computing device creates said one or more tagged resources associated with an authentication request object that requires one or more contextual authentications to be accessed;
wherein said server sends to said one or more secondary personal computing devices said one or more tagged resources associated with said authentication request object; and
wherein said authentication application on said one or more secondary personal computing devices requires one or more users to provide one or more provided contextual authentications when said one or more tagged resources are accessed by said one or more secondary personal computing devices.

Abstract
The system and method of the present disclosure is a contextual authentication system, comprising: an authentication server, which comprises a memory; and an authentication application, wherein said authentication application may be configured to be run on at least a primary personal computing device and one or more secondary personal computing devices. The devices are networked with each other and each other and the authentication server. The primary device may have a resource that may be shared with the secondary devices if the users of the secondary devices are able to properly provide a contextual authentication, as required by the primary device. If the secondary users cannot properly authenticate, then they are denied access. The server may make the determination.
