Abstract
A method of credential sharing between users in a system includes creating a credential for a first user that is configured such that entry of secure details of the credential enables execution of an operation. The method includes receiving data indicative of a first selection of the credential and a second selection of a second user. The method includes encrypting the secure details such that the second user is capable of decrypting the secure details and other users are incapable of decrypting the secure details. The method includes appending a profile of the second user with encrypted secure details. The method includes receiving an execution request to perform the first operation from the second user and decrypting the secure details. After entry of the decrypted secure details, the method includes authenticating the second user using the secure details and enabling execution of the first operation by the second user.
