Abstract

Representative embodiments of operating a secured device requiring user authentication include receiving a request from a user for operating the device without prior authentication; granting the user temporary access to the device in accordance with a security policy that specifies a predetermined time interval and/or a predetermined number of device operations within which authentication must occur to continue at least some operations of the device; computationally storing an audit trail identifying the temporary access and actions performed during the temporary access; and upon determining that authentication has not been provided within the predetermined time interval or number of device operations, preventing at least some operations of the device and updating the audit trail to specify expiration of the temporary access.
