Systems and Computer Readable Media for enabling methods for multi-party authorization including a security component determining that a request for the performance of an action on a computing device is from a first party. The security component initiates transmissions to the computing device of first and second information indicating knowledge of first and second secrets provisioned on the computing device. The computing device, upon verifying the knowledge of first and second secrets, then permits the requested action.

System and computer readable media enabling methods for permitting a request after verifying knowledge of first and second secrets

A method for multi-party authorization includes a security component determining that a request for the performance of an action on a computing device is from a first party. The security component initiates transmissions to the computing device of first and second information indicating knowledge of first and second secrets provisioned on the computing device. The computing device, upon verifying the knowledge of first and second secrets, then permits the requested action.

System and method for permitting a request after verifying knowledge of first and second secrets

A computing device creates verification information and a challenge token and sends the verification information and token to a server. The computing device receives authentication credentials and a command from the server and a command. The authentication credentials were generated using verified authentication information and the token. The computing device verifies the authentication credentials and processes the command if the credentials are valid.

System and method for processing a command based on verification information and a challenge token

A computing device creates verification information and a challenge token and sends the verification information and token to a server. A server receives a command and authentication information and uses the verification information to verify the authentication information. The server creates authentication credentials based on the authentication information and the challenge token. The computing device receives the command and the authentication credentials from the server, determines whether the credentials are valid, and then processes the command if the credentials are valid.

System and method for permitting an action based on verification information and a challenge token

An action is permitted to be performed on a computing device only after the action has been confirmed by two or more authorized and/or authenticated parties. A security component receives a request from to initiate an action on a computing device. Before the action is allowed to be initiated on the computing device the security component requires the authentication of first and second parties or authorizations from first and second parties, or both the authentications of and authorizations from first and second parties. After receiving the required authorizations and/or successfully performing the required authentications, the security component allows the requested action to be initiated on the computing device.
