Abstract From the Canadian patent

An improved network architecture employs a super authority having an identity catalog to direct login authentication tasks to appropriate authorities. Authentication tasks may be performed by authorities across namespace boundaries if so directed by the super authority such that a principal account may be moved without alteration of the account ID. In an embodiment of the invention the identity catalog comprises a listing associating account IDs with appropriate authenticating authorities.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed July 30, 2004 and granted February 11, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 30, 2024.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 30, 2026.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
