AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIAL WITH EMBEDDED AUTHENTICATION INFORMATION

Abstract:

Techniques include securely accessing data associated with authorization of an identity, the identity being capable of accessing an access-controlled network resource based on assertion of an authentication credential to an entity associated with the access-controlled network resource; generating a secret data element based on the data associated with authorization of the identity and based on application of a first secret logic algorithm; and making the secret data element available to be embedded in the authentication credential. The entity associated with the access-controlled network resource is configured to: validate the identity based on the secret data element being included in the authentication credential; and access the data associated with authorization of the identity based on application of a second secret logic algorithm to the secret data element.
