Abstract:
1. A system for creating a set of user credentials to authenticate a user to a service, comprising: the service including a first signal interface, a first processing hardware and a first user interface; an authentication server coupled to the service, the authentication server including a second signal interface and a second processing hardware, wherein the first signal interface is configured to transmit a request to the authentication server to provision a set of credentials, the request including a security realm identifying the service, wherein the second processing hardware is configured to create a session identifier and to encode the session identifier into a pictogram and wherein the second signal interface is configured to transmit the pictogram to the service; and a device including a third signal interface and a third processing hardware, wherein the first user interface is configured to display the pictogram, wherein the third processing hardware is configured to scan the pictogram and the third signal interface is configured to securely transmit a signal associated with the pictogram to the authentication server, wherein the second processing hardware is configured to locate the security realm and to create a set of credentials associated with the device, the second signal interface being configured to securely transmit the set of credentials to the device for authentication with the service; wherein the third signal interface associated with the device is configured to transmit a request to the authentication server for a transfer pictogram, wherein the second signal interface associated with the authentication server is configured to return the transfer pictogram to the device, the device including a device user interface configured to display the transfer pictogram, wherein the transfer pictogram is scanned by a second device to transfer the set of credentials from the device to the second device.
