Abstract

A system and method for concurrent security connections is presented. An association table is used that includes a list of active credentials. An active credential includes information such as user id and password information for a given domain. The active credential may also include dynamic data that is retrieved from a user, such as a pseudo-random code or a fingerprint scan. The active credential is sent to a domain, or the managing server of the domain, when domain access is requested. This access request does not involve the user of the client unless dynamic input data is requested.
