Abstract

A one-time certificate is provided that enables an initial two-way secured communication session between a user computing device and a trusted server. An initial secured communication session is established by the trusted server with the user computing device after receiving the one-time certificate. The trusted server receives identification information associated with the user of the user computing device, wherein the identification information includes a representation of the user's identity that has been confirmed as a function of biometrics and further includes a representation of the user computing device. Moreover, the trusted server generates a replacement certificate that is unique to the combination of the user and the user computing device, and transmits the replacement certificate to the user computing device. Thereafter, a two-way secured communication session is established, by the trusted server, with the user computing device each time the replacement certificate is received by the trusted server.

Claims (42)

1. A method for providing secure communication between a user computing device and a trusted server, the method comprising:

providing, via a distributed client software application, a one-time certificate that enables an initial two-way secured communication session between the user computing device and the trusted server;

establishing, by the trusted server, an initial secured communication session with the user computing device after receiving the one-time certificate;

receiving, by the trusted server during the initial secured communication session, identification information associated with the user of the user computing device, wherein the identification information includes a representation of the user's identity that has been confirmed as a function of biometrics and further includes a representation of the user computing device;

generating, by the trusted server, a replacement certificate that is unique to the combination of the user and the user computing device,

transmitting, by the trusted server, the replacement certificate to the user computing device; and

establishing, by the trusted server, a two-way secured communication session with the user computing device each time the replacement certificate and encoded information representing that the user's identity has been verified using captured biometric information is received from the user computing device by the trusted server.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising employing, by the trusted server, an intrusion detection system that provides active monitoring and prevents spoofing of the replacement certificate.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the spoofing that is prevented includes replaying the replacement certificate.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial two-way secured communication session and the two-way secured communication session with the user computing device each time the replacement certificate is received by the trusted server are further established as a one-way secured connection.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial two-way secured communication session and the two-way secured communication session are secured via two-way secured sockets layer connections and via one-way secured sockets layer connections.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the trusted server from a computing device other than the user computing device, a user identifier that represents the user; and

including the user identifier in the replacement certificate.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, by the trusted server, role gathering that is defined by one or more rules for access to a digital asset; and

providing or denying, by the trusted server, access to the digital asset by the user computing device as a function of the role gathering.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, by the trusted server, auditing of access to one or more digital assets by the user computing device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the user computing device includes a device identifier.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising querying, by the trusted server, the user computing device to capture the biometric information of the user and encode the information that represents the user's identity has been verified.

11. A system for providing secure communication between a user computing device and a trusted server, the system comprising:

at least one processor operatively coupled to one or more non-transitory processor readable media;

wherein the one or more processor readable media includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to:

provide, via a distributed client software application, a one-time certificate that enables an initial two-way secured communication session between the user computing device and the trusted server;

establish an initial secured communication session with the user computing device after receiving the one-time certificate;

receive, during the initial secured communication session, identification information associated with the user of the user computing device, wherein the identification information includes a representation of the user's identity that has been confirmed as a function of biometrics and further includes a representation of the user computing device;

generate a replacement certificate that is unique to the combination of the user and the user computing device,

transmit the replacement certificate to the user computing device; and

establish a two-way secured communication session with the user computing device each time the replacement certificate and encoded information representing that the user's identity has been verified using captured biometric information is received from the user computing device by the trusted server.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more non-transitory processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to employ an intrusion detection system that provides active monitoring and prevents spoofing of the replacement certificate.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the spoofing that is prevented includes replaying the replacement certificate.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more non-transitory processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to establish a one-way secured connection each time the replacement certificate is received.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the initial two-way secured communication session and the two-way secured communication session are secured via two-way secured sockets layer connections and via one-way secured sockets layer connections.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to:

receive from a computing device other than the user computing device, a user identifier that represents the user; and

include the user identifier in the replacement certificate.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more non-transitory processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to:

provide role gathering that is defined by one or more rules for access to a digital asset; and

provide or deny access to the digital asset by the user computing device as a function of the role gathering.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more non-transitory processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to further provide auditing of access to one or more digital assets by the user computing device.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the representation of the user computing device includes a device identifier.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more non-transitory processor readable media further includes instructions for enabling the at least one processor to query the user computing device to capture the biometric information of the user and encode the information that represents the user's identity has been verified.
