Abstract
In general, the techniques of this disclosure describe a computing device in a secure domain that is configured to receive, via a guard device, an authentication factor from at least one authentication device of a plurality of authentication devices each in a non-secure domain. The respective authentication factor comprises a respective identifier of a respective user of the respective authentication device. The computing device may then determine whether the respective user of each respective authentication device is a particular trusted user based on the received authentication factors. Responsive to determining that the respective user of each respective authentication device is the particular trusted user, the computing device may enable access to one or more applications on the computing device. Once access is enabled, the computing device may continue to enable access so long as the authentication devices send additional authentication factors that confirm the identity of the user.
