Secure access to cloud-based services via gateway proxy
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11968182B2) outlines a method for authenticating service requests to cloud-based services provided by at least one service provider. The method involves receiving a remote authentication request containing a user identifier, validating the identifier, retrieving an encrypted access identifier, and sending an authentication token request to a gateway proxy. This authentication token is then returned to the local processing agent, which is a software automation process supported by a robotic processing automation system. The method ensures secure and automated access to cloud-based services without the need for user input.
Furthermore, the patent details additional steps such as making the service request to the service provider, authenticating the local processing agent's access through the gateway proxy, and providing a service request along with authentication credentials to the cloud-based service provider. The system also includes a data store for managing software processing agents, a gateway proxy for access control, and an authorization system for authenticating requests. The access identifiers are encrypted and stored for validation, ensuring secure and authorized access to cloud-based services. Overall, the patented method streamlines the authentication process for service requests, particularly for automated software processes within a robotic processing automation system, enhancing efficiency and security in accessing cloud services.
