Abstract
Systems and methods for a secure soft token solution applicable to multiple platforms and usage scenarios are provided. According to one embodiment a method is provided for soft token management. A mobile device of a user of a secure network resource receives and installs a soft token application. A unique device ID of the mobile device is programmatically obtained by the soft token application. A seed for generating a soft token for accessing the secure network resource is requested by the soft token application. Responsive to receipt of the seed by the soft token application, the soft token is generated based on the seed and the soft token is bound to the mobile device by encrypting the seed with the unique device ID and a hardcoded pre-shared key.
