Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for authenticating devices and using an authenticated device to determine an access decision include a computing system including a network interface circuit that facilitates communication via a network and a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory. The processing circuit approves or denies a request to access a secured device. The processing circuit comprises an access management circuit that receives and interprets the access request to identify a user, an authentication database storing authentication data, and a workforce database storing credential data. The access management circuit retrieves the authentication data from the authentication database to determine the user device associated with the access request. The access management circuit retrieves the credential data from the workforce database based on the identification of the user and the authentication data to determine an access decision and approve or deny access to the secured device.
