Abstract
A method and process for users to have secure access to multiple mobile, embedded or web based applications, is provided whereby each requires different authentication, and access to such applications is automated through the use of a single authenticating and authorizing software; the software thereby securely managing the individual authorizations and, in so doing, the authentication required by any individual application independent of the device used. To protect against any intrusion and manipulation while assuring that only legitimate user(s) that are properly authenticated have access to their applications the method secures the secret information required to access these applications and minimizes exposure to any sensitive information. Moreover, any secrets that protect information are themselves secured and made strong and the means of access is simplified and automated as much as possible while safeguarding security and confidentiality.
