Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments of a system and method for a single request and single response authentication protocol are described. A client may send to an authentication server a request to authenticate the identity of a user attempting to access an electronic document protected by a rights management policy. The single request may be generated according to rights management configuration information included within the document. Such rights management information may include one or more parameters for requesting authentication from an authentication server. In response to the request, an authentication server may send a single response to the client. The single response may include information indicating that the identity is authenticated (e.g., a license to access the document, or an encryption key to decrypt the document). The client system may be configured to, in response to the single response, provide access to the document according to the rights management policy.
