Abstract
A method for using multiple channels to access a resource, wherein a first user requests a resource that requires an indication of approval from a second user, a token value is transmitted to the first user on the first channel, and the second user transmits the token value and a second authentication parameter over a second channel. The token value is used to associate the first authentication parameter to the second authentication parameter, whereby the first user is allowed access to the resource on the first. The first and second user may be independently authenticated in some implementations and not independently authenticated in other implementations.
