Patent attributes
The provisioning of a security token object to a user is disclosed. The security token object is used for accessing a computing resource through a client device, such as a mobile device. A security token object provisioning request may be received from the mobile device. In response, an authentication request may be transmitted. The user is authenticated against a user identity based upon a set of received identity credentials provided by the user. The extraction of a unique token identifier from the security token object is initiated, and completed without intervention from the user. The unique token identifier received from the client device is associated with the user identity in a data store. By providing the security token object, the user can gain access to the computing resource.
