US Patent 11128616 Proximity based security

In accordance with this disclosure, a system and method for remotely enabling proximity-based authentication is provided. A computing device initiates a secure server based on proximity-based communication when the computing device is in a vicinity of the secure server. The computer device then prompts proximity-based authentication to establish a secure connection with the secure server. As a result of the proximity-based authentication, the computing device is authenticated and locally stores a secure token sent from the secure server in response to the proximity-based authentication. Once the authenticated computing device communicates with the secure server, remote authentication is initiated to the secure server and the authenticated computing device is remotely connected to the secure server if the stored secure token is properly accepted by the secure server for authentication.
