Patent AT-E401730-T1: [Translated] AUTHENTICATION FOR WEB SERVICES THROUGH A TRUSTED UNIT

Published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: July 31, 2026 at 09:22 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 06, 2025
The present invention extends to trusted third party authentication for Web services. Web services trust and delegate user authentication responsibility to a trusted third party that acts as an identity provider for the trusting Web services. The trusted third party authenticates users through common authentication mechanisms, such as, for example, username/password and X.509 certificates and uses initial user authentication to bootstrap subsequent secure sessions with Web services. Web services construct user identity context using a service session token issued by the trusted third party and reconstruct security states without having to use a service-side distributed cache.
