Authentication of a Client Device Based on Entropy from a Server or Other Device

Abstract:

Methods and systems for authenticating a client device using entropy provided by a server and/or a device paired with the client device are described herein. The client dvice may receive a first user credential. The client device may receive first entropy from a wireless device. The client device may decrypt, using the first entropy, second entropy generated by a server. The client device may decrypt, using the second entropy, a second user credential that was stored in the client device. Based on a comparison of the first user credential with the second user credential, the client device may grant a user of the client device access to one or more resources.
