Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes enrolling a supplicant device as an authentication factor for a user. The enrolling includes storing a public key of an asymmetric key pair generated by an authentication application on the supplicant device. The method also includes receiving, from an access device, a request to access a service using an identity of the user. In addition, the method includes, responsive to the receiving, publishing an authentication code to the access device. The method further includes receiving an authentication package from the authentication application without contacting the authentication application. The authentication package includes a digital signature of the authentication code. The method additionally includes validating the digital signature using the public key. Moreover, the method includes, responsive to a determination that the validating is successful, allowing the access device to access the service.
