Abstract
An app runs on a user operated computing device, e.g., a mobile device running a sandboxed operating system. The app requests a session ID from a publisher Idp. The app registers for notifications on the session ID with a notification service. The app directs a browser to navigate to the publisher IdP, and to pass it the secure session ID and an ID of a specific partner. The publisher IdP returns a redirect to a third party IdP used by the specific partner to authenticate users. The browser navigates to the third party IdP, which prompts the user for authentication credentials. The third party Idp uses the credentials to authenticate the user, and redirects the authentication result to the publisher IdP. The publisher IdP sends the app a notification, via the notification service. In response, the app calls the publisher IdP, and receives a secure authentication token.
