Problems solved by technology

Current identity solutions can also be complex to implement and result in a poor user experience
For example, current solutions can require relatively complex server-side code and make it difficult for authentication UIs to obtain information such as usernames, emails, photos, or user-specific avatars
Furthermore, cookie usage is short-lived, and logging out of a central account (such as an email account) may invalidate sessions on other web applications, which can prove counter-intuitive for users

Embodiment Construction

[0017] System and method implementations described herein involve a web browser or the identity of a web browser acting as an operating system for use by installed web applications. With the user's consent, the web browser can generate a unique encryption key pair for each (user, origin) pair. The public key can become the user identity of the origin (ie, web application). The key pair can be synchronized between clients so that the user does not need to enter new authentication credentials (except perhaps for browser logins) each time the user wishes to use a different web application at a different client.

[0018] Figure 1A An example web browser application 101 that can display a user interface 103 including tabs 105 , 107 and 109 is illustrated. In one implementation, tab 105 may display selectable icons for web applications 111 , 113 , 115 , and 117 . The systems and methods described herein can be used to preserve and provide a secure browser user identity that can ...

Abstract

A browser application programming interface is exposed to a web application to authenticate a user's identity using user-specific identity information stored by the browser. Password information associated with the user is transmitted from the browser application programming interface to the web application. If the web application uses the password information to authenticate the user's identity via the browser application programming interface, user-specific content is provided to the user through the web application.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and is a continuation of U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 554,492, filed July 20, 2012, entitled "METHODAND SYSTEM FOR BROWSER IDENTITY," The entire disclosure of said application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to web browser technology, and in particular to identity mechanisms of web browsers. Background technique [0004] Web browsers store identities and authenticate identities to servers. However, no system exists for providing a common identity across different web applications. Users may have to log in separately each time they access a different web application, web service or website. It turned out that users had a hard time remembering different usernames and passwords and had to log in many times. [0005] Furthermore, current identity solutions can rely on server-to-server techn...
