Token node locking

An apparatus for providing secure data to a client device having a token, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing processor instructions comprising processor instructions for:
• (a) binding the token to the client device according to first token binding information comprising a first token identifier (ID), first client device fingerprint data, and a first timestamp, comprising:
• receiving the first token binding information from the client device in a token binding service;
• determining if the first token ID does not match a previously stored token ID;
• if the first token ID does not match a previously stored token ID, associatively storing the first token ID with the first client device fingerprint data, and the first timestamp;
• (b) receiving a request to provide secure data to the client device in a secure data service;
• (c) determining if the request to provide the secure data to the client device was received within an acceptable temporal range of the stored timestamp, comprising:
• querying the token binding service for the first timestamp;
• comparing the first timestamp with a further timestamp associated with a time that the request to provide secure data was received;
• and
• (d) providing the requested secure data according to the determination.
