Abstract

A method of accessing a data resource identifies the data resource, the data resource accessible through a first device and associated with a resource locator, the first device configured to provide access to the data resource responsive to possession of a whitelisted credential. The method includes receiving a second-device credential from a second device by a personal domain controller, the personal domain controller and the first device within a first trusted relationship and provides, by the personal domain controller, the second-device credential to the first device for whitelisting subject to the first trusted relationship. The method uses, by the second device, the second-device credential to access the data resource responsive to the resource locator.
