In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a WebAuthn proxy, login prompt information from a browser. The WebAuthn proxy and the browser are installed on a device. The method also includes generating, by the WebAuthn proxy, a WebAuthn credential request based on the login prompt information and communicating, by the WebAuthn proxy, the WebAuthn credential request to a WebAuthn authenticator. The method further includes receiving, by the WebAuthn proxy, a WebAuthn response from the WebAuthn authenticator and communicating, by the WebAuthn proxy, the WebAuthn response to the browser.

Systems and methods for WebAuthn transport via a WebAuthn proxy

In one embodiment, a method includes establishing, by an identity agent installed on a device, a connection to a browser installed on the device and generating, by the identity agent, first device information, a public key, and a private key. The method also includes communicating, by the identity agent, the first device information and the public key to an authentication service and receiving, by the identity agent, a unique identifier from the authentication service. The method further includes generating, by the identity agent, a first signature of the first device information and communicating, by the identity agent, the first signature, the first device information, and the unique identifier to the browser.

Systems and methods for using signed device information to authenticate a user

This disclosure describes techniques for authenticating one or more devices of a user in association with cloud computing services. The techniques include generating credential portions. The credential portions may be used in a signing protocol between one of the user devices and a cloud authenticator. The signing protocol may generate a signature that may be used in authentication with a cloud computing service. In some cases, the credential portions may be shared with other devices of the user. As such, the cloud authenticate may assist multiple user devices to authenticate with the cloud computing service.

Multi-party cloud authenticator

An authentication system handles authentication requests to apply introspection and policy enforcement. A policy server obtains a client security policy and an authenticator security policy. The policy server obtains an encrypted credential request with client metadata from a client and determines whether the client metadata satisfies the client security policy. The policy server provides the encrypted credential request to an authenticator device and obtains an encrypted credential response with authenticator metadata in response. The policy server determines whether the authenticator metadata satisfies the authenticator security policy. The policy server processes the encrypted credential response, without decrypting the encrypted credential request or the encrypted credential response, based on a determination of whether the client metadata satisfies the client security policy and the authenticator metadata satisfies the authenticator security policy.
