Abstract
A method and apparatus for accessing a computer resource, wherein, during a first access sequence, the computer resource receives credentials of a user from a device the user is using to access the computer resource, encrypts the credentials using at least a first credentials key stores the encrypted credentials, communicates the first credentials key to a connection broker or to the device, and purges the first credentials key. The computer resource, during a subsequent access sequence, receives the first credentials key, decrypts the encrypted credentials using the first credentials key, and purges the first credentials key. The computer resource authenticates the user using the credentials and purges the credentials after the user is authenticated and enables the device to access the computer resource following the authentication of the user.
