Abstract:
1. At least one machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed on a machine, cause the machine to: receive, from a first computing device, first authentication data based on data received by the first computing device from a wireless token device over a wireless connection between the first computing device and the wireless token device and based at least in part on the wireless token device being in proximity to the first computing device, wherein the first authentication data is associated with a first user and is to be used to authenticate the first user to a particular computing session hosted remote from the first computing device; authenticate the first computing device for use by the first user in the particular computing session based on the received first authentication data; permit the first computing device to consume resources of the particular computing session based on the first authentication data; receive, from a second computing device, second authentication data based on data received by the second computing device from the wireless token device over a wireless connection between the second computing device and the wireless token device and based at least in part on the wireless token device being in proximity to the second computing device, wherein the second authentication data is associated with the first user; authenticate the second computing device for use by the particular user in the particular computing session based on the received second authentication data; and permit the second computing device to consume resources of the particular computing session based on the second authentication data, wherein the particular computing session is associated with the first user and is to persist during a transition from use of the first computing device to use of the second computing device by the first user.
