Abstract
Authentication can be performed on thin clients using independent mobile devices. Because many users have smart phones or other similar mobile devices that include biometric scanners, such mobile devices can be leveraged to perform authentication of users as part of logging in to a thin client desktop. A mapping can be created on a central server between a user's mobile device and the user's domain identity. A mapping can also be created between the user's domain identity and the user's thin client desktop. Then, when a user desires to log in to his thin client desktop, the user can employ the appropriate biometric scanner on his mobile device to perform authentication. The central server can then rely on this authentication to identify and log the user into his thin client desktop.
