PEER-TO-PEER AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORISATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04K1/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: authentication mechanism uses a storage for authorised persons which can be individually filled by users of computer devices and can contain certificates of objects which a user wishes to allow to act as certification authorities. Consequently, a peer-to-peer connection can be made even if not a single device presents a certificate or a chain of trust signed by the certification authority of a third party provided that, each device presents a certificate or a chain of trust signed by a device present in the storage of authorised persons. If authenticated, a remote user can access confidential resources on the host device by borrowing user rights through local processes and creating the corresponding marker by changing the password or type of user password by hash-value of the user certificate and then registering the user. The marker can be referenced using a standard way for determining whether a remove use is authorised to access the confidential resource.

EFFECT: easier authentication of computer devices.
