Systems and methods are provided for a media provider to allow a user to access media objects with a third-party partner that authenticates the user and authorizes the user to access certain media objects. The media provider offers access to media objects, such as video content or audio content. The partner, through a relationship with the media provider, similarly offers access to the media provider's media objects, for example, as a service or benefit to the partner's customers or users. In particular, a partner integration server mediates user authentication and authorization by the partner. The partner integration server also allows the media provider to easily and flexibly to add and integrate additional partners.

The disclosure relates to an authentication approach to grant access to a secure service on an electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving, via an electronic device, a request to access the secure service. The authentication approach includes determining whether the electronic device is positioned at a location that corresponds to a virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes displaying, in response to determining the device is positioned at the location that corresponds to the virtual authentication lock, the virtual authentication lock on a display of the electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving one or more interactions with the virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes determining whether the one or more interactions correspond to one or more authentication interactions related to the virtual authentication lock and granting, in response to the one or more interactions corresponding to the one or more authentication interactions, access to the secure service.

A method for authenticating e-commerce transactions involves receiving, from a payment network computer, a first authentication request message to authenticate a transaction associated with a payment account, the first authentication request message being initiated by an issuer domain computer not implementing a 3-D Secure authorization protocol, determining that the issuer domain computer has configured, at the access control server computer, a decision function of a second portion of the 3-D Secure authorization protocol and in response thereto, transmitting, to the issuer domain computer, a decision request message and information associated with the transaction, the decision request message requesting the issuer domain computer to determine an action for authenticating the transaction based on the information associated with the transaction and one or more programmatic rules of the issuer domain computer, the transmitting occurring in lieu of the access control server computer executing the decision function at the access control server computer.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for increasing security of devices that leverages an integration of an authentication system with at least one corporate service. In one aspect, a request is received from a user device to authenticate a person as a particular user by the authentication system. A photo of the person attempting to be authenticated as the particular user is captured. Nodal points are mapped to the captured photo of the person attempting to be authenticated, and the nodal points from the photo are compared against a reference model for facial recognition of the particular user. It is then determined whether the nodal points match the reference model for the particular user. The present technology also includes sending a command to the user device to send data to identify the person, and/or a location of the user device.

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for validating a request to perform an action to access at least one file. A computing device can receive a request from the client, the request being to perform an action to access at least one file and including a first computed value indicative of one or more previous actions on files. The computing device may compare the first computed value to a second computed value maintained by the computing device independently from the first computed value. The second computed value may be indicative of the one or more previous actions on the files. The computing device may perform secondary authentication in addition to primary authentication for the client, responsive to an indication of trustworthiness of the client or the file according to the comparison of the first computed value to the second computed value.

A computing device may include a memory and a processor configured to cooperate with the memory to receive a connection lease and a token from a client device, with the token being generated responsive to the client device completing multi-factor authentication (MFA) with a provider of MFA. The processor may further verify, responsive to unavailability of the provider of MFA, that the client device has previously performed MFA based upon the token, and connect the client device to a computing session with use of the connection lease and responsive to the verification that the client device has performed MFA.

Systems and methods are provided for receiving information associated with a final single sign-on page from a native browser, extracting a public key from the information associated with the final single sign-on page, generating a single sign-on token to bind a browser session and a native application session, associating the single sign-on token with the public key extracted from the information associated with the final single sign-on page, and encrypting the single sign-on token with the public key to bind the browser session and the native application session.

Methods, system, and non-transitory processor-readable storage medium for distributed and multi-level server authentication are provided herein. An example method includes receiving, by a plurality of second servers, a plurality of authentication secret slices, where a first server transmits each of the plurality of authentication secret slices to a respective second server of the plurality of second servers, receiving, by the first server, an authentication confirmation from each of the plurality of second servers and confirming, by the first server to a client, that an authentication request has succeeded.

This disclosure describes techniques for authenticating a user. For instance, a system may initially generate and then store authentication data for later authenticating the user. The authentication data may include biometrics data (e.g., facial recognition data), credentials data (e.g., a username, password, etc.), and/or environmental data (e.g., object(s) located within an environment). Later, the system may receive image data generated by a user device of the user. In some examples, the system may then analyze the image data using one or more facial recognition techniques in order to identify the user. The system may then use the authentication data, such as the environmental data, to determine that the image data further represents the object(s). Based on determining that the image data further represents the object(s), the system may then verify the user for access to a resource.

A system, method, and media for providing web-based security to a workflow process is presented. Data may be processed in a web-based workflow management system. The system may detect the transfer of high-level security data through the workflow. Upon detection of the data transfers the system may request review and approval in the form of a biometric input from an approved user to allow the data to be transferred.
