Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for authenticating a user to a host by an agent are disclosed. In the method the agent receives a connection request to the host from the user. In response to the received connection request, the agent determines an ephemeral authenticator, and acquires using the ephemeral authenticator a second authenticator. The second authenticator is based at least in part on use of the ephemeral authenticator. The agent then authenticates the user to the host using the second authenticator.
