Abstract

To provide access to an account in an apparatus in response to a request to the account, the apparatus creates and forwards a challenge for this request and waits for a token signed by a centralized signing entity for the account, the token comprising access enabling data. When such a token is received, the apparatus validates the token, and only if the validation succeeds, enables access to the account.
