Abstract
A system and method are described for integrating an authentication service within an existing network infrastructure. One embodiment of a method comprises: configuring a gateway to restrict access to an internal network; configuring an authentication client of a client device to establish a communication channel with the authentication server and to register one or more authentication devices with the authentication server; authenticating the user with the authentication server using one or more of the registered authentication devices in response to an attempt to gain access to the internal network via the gateway; providing the client device with a cryptographic data structure in response to a successful authentication; providing the cryptographic data structure to the gateway as proof of the successful authentication; validating the cryptographic data structure with the authentication server; providing access to the gateway upon receiving an indication from the authentication server that the cryptographic data structure is valid.
