Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a computing system from a user, a first command for generating an authentication table associated with said user; generating, by said computing system in response to said first command, said authentication table; receiving, by said computing system from said user, first authentication data and second authentication data, wherein said first authentication data comprises: a first authentication method enabling a first secure login process for said computing system, a first execution sequence for said first authentication method, a first account number for said user, and a first duration associated with a time period that when expired automatically disables said first authentication method and automatically enables a second authentication method, wherein said second authentication data comprises: said second authentication method enabling a second secure login process for said computing system, a second execution sequence for said second authentication method, a second account number for said user, and a second duration associated with a time period that when expired automatically disables said second authentication method and automatically enables an additional authentication method, and wherein said first authentication method, said second authentication method, and said additional authentication method each comprise a different authentication method; placing, by said computing system, said first authentication data in a first entry row of said authentication table; placing, by said computing system, said second authentication data in a second entry row of said authentication table; storing, by said computing system, said authentication table comprising said first authentication data and said second authentication data; receiving, by said computing system from said user, a second command for generating an action table associated with said user and said authentication table; generating, by said computing system in response to said second command said action table; receiving, by said computing system from said user, first action data and second action data, wherein said first action data comprises a first condition and a first associated action associated with automatically selecting said first authentication method, said second authentication method, or said additional authentication method when said first condition is detected, wherein said first condition comprises a first detected change within said computing system, wherein said second action data comprises a second condition and a second associated action associated with automatically selecting said first authentication method, said second authentication method, or said additional authentication method when said second condition is detected, and wherein said second condition comprises a second detected change within said computing system; placing, by said computing system, said first action data in a first entry row of said action table; placing, by said computing system, said second action data in a second entry row of said action table; and storing, by said computing system, said action table comprising said first action data and said second action data.
