Abstract
Techniques are provided for controlling user access to a protected resource based on an outcome of a one-time passcode authentication token and one or more predefined access policies. An exemplary method comprises the steps of: providing an authentication passcode generated by a token associated with a user to at least one authentication processing device, wherein the user is attempting to access a protected resource; receiving an authentication outcome from the at least one authentication processing device, the authentication outcome comprising an acceptance outcome of the received authentication passcode and at least one of an acceptance outcome with respect to one or more different signals, such as a silent alarm and an acceptance outcome with respect to a drifting key; and providing access of the user to the protected resource based on the authentication outcome and a predefined access policy. Predefined access policies that are specific to silent alarm alerts and drifting key alerts are also provided.
