INTEGRATION OF PASSWORD-LESS AUTHENTICATION SYSTEMS WITH LEGACY IDENTITY FEDERATION

摘要

Authentication techniques are provided that integrate platform-specific authentication and federated identity authentication. An example method for authenticating a user according to these techniques includes authenticating the user of a user device with a relying party and an authentication entity. The user device and the relying party support platform-specific authentication and the authentication entity does not support platform-specific authentication. The method further includes accessing an application or service provided by the relying party responsive to authenticating the user of the user device with both the relying party and the authentication entity.
