A method includes receiving, at a control node of a cloud computing network, a first enterprise policy specific to the first enterprise and a second enterprise policy specific to the second enterprise, and managing communications between at least one user device of the first enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the first enterprise based on the first enterprise policy. The method also includes managing communications between at least one user device of the second enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the second enterprise based on the second enterprise policy.

End-to-end secure cloud computing

Methods for secure communications are provided. The methods include creating a safe user account on a secure access system, wherein creating an account includes provision of at least one strong authenticator to be associated with a user of the secure access system; providing a unique login and the at least one strong authenticator associated with the user to the secure access system to gain access to information associated with a referring organization, the referring organization being registered with the secure access system; and accessing the information associated with the referring organization based on the unique login and the at least one strong authenticator provided to the secure access system. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Methods, systems and computer program products for secure access to information

A pre-registration procedure is utilized to create a user profile for a user of a multi-factor authentication ('MFA') service. A client application installation procedure is utilized to install a client application on a computing device that is to be utilized as an authentication factor for the MFA service. A computing device enrollment procedure is utilized to enroll the computing device on which the client application was installed for the MFA service. A voice enrollment procedure is utilized to create a voice print for the user of the computing device that is to be utilized as an authentication factor for the MFA service. An authentication procedure is utilized to provide multi-factor authenticated access to a service, such as an online service that provides access to sensitive account information.

Authentication techniques utilizing a computing device

A method of authenticating an entity includes associating a local identity of the entity with a global identity of the entity, the local identity being associated with a first one of a plurality of restricted access zones, associating the global identity of the entity with particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones for granting access to the particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones, receiving an authentication request from the entity to access a second one of the plurality of access zones where the authentication request includes the local identity of the entity, and authenticating the entity for access to the second one of the plurality of access zones responsive to receiving the authentication request when the second one of the plurality of restricted access zones is one of the particular ones of the plurality of restricted access zones that are associated with the global identity of the entity.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for authenticating an entity through use of a global identity of the entity that serves as a proxy for one or more local identities of the entity

A user's identity is authenticated by evaluating the identity of the user using a plurality of authentication techniques, the plurality of authentication techniques generating a plurality of numerical confidence indicators, respectively, of the identity of the user, associating a plurality of authentication technique weights with the plurality of numerical confidence indicators, respectively, and calculating a weighted combination of the respective numerical confidence indicators using the plurality of authentication technique weights to generate a composite numerical confidence indicator of the identity of the user.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for authenticating an identity of a user by generating a confidence indicator of the identity of the user based on a combination of multiple authentication techniques

A method and an apparatus with computer readable media for creation of a common token, with at least one associated usage limitation, for authenticating a user within a multiple website environment are disclosed. The methodology employs a secured user authentication mechanism, for example, as a common token representative of the user, to be used in the authentication of a user and for performing secure online network transactions by the authenticated user in a multiple website environment. The common token can be used at a first website to perform a business, financial, or personal transaction for example; and then, the common token can be used again at a second website, a third website, etc. to perform one or more tasks on behalf of the authenticated user and within the token's usage or associated limitations.
