Secure method for mobile device to access shared computing terminal
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11889000B2) outlines a method for operating a mobile device to establish a communications channel with a shared computing terminal accessible to multiple users. The method involves authenticating the user with a remote computing device, receiving a code, and providing it to the shared terminal to request a temporary access token. This token allows the shared terminal to launch a computing session with the remote device without transferring a long-lived access token. The user responds to a challenge from the remote device, providing a challenge response and the long-lived access token for authentication.
Furthermore, the patent details the process of logging into the remote computing device, receiving the long-lived access token, and accessing workspace resources. The method ensures that the code and temporary access token expire after a set time period or a single computing session. The mobile device pairs with the shared terminal through methods like reading a QR code or using NFC for exchanging pairing information. Additionally, the patent covers a mobile device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for establishing the communications channel, receiving the code, providing it to the shared terminal, responding to challenges, and authenticating the user with the remote computing device, all without transferring long-lived access tokens.
