Abstract
In a first embodiment, the 'one tap' operation of this disclosure enables a user having a mobile device 'one tap' mobile application (or “app”) to log-in to the user's desktop or laptop computer by bringing the user's device in physical proximity to the computer and, while in such proximity, accepting a push notification that is received on the mobile device. In a second embodiment, the user uses the “one tap” functionality to access a cloud-based account that has been set up for the user on a third party web application (e.g., SalesForce.com). The technique seamlessly integrates with third party websites using well-known protocols (e.g., SAML2), and it enables secure cross-origin resource sharing in a highly secure, reliable and available manner. Still another aspect of this disclosure is an enhanced proximity detection routine that is used to facilitate the one tap function when the user's mobile device is moved into proximity with the computer.
