System and method for secured access management

A system for managing secure access to an application and data provided by the application, said system comprising:

• a server having data stored thereon;
• a client device configured to communicate with said server over a network;
• and
• a trust service module configured to detect an attempted execution of an application on said client device to access said data on said server and manage access of said data on said client device, said trust service module comprising:
• a device recognition module configured to analyze said client device attempting to access said application and identify one or more characteristics of said client device and an associated user;
• and
• a trust determination module configured to establish a level of trustworthiness of said client device based on said identified one or more characteristics and to determine said client device is authorized to execute said application and access said data of said server based on a comparison of level of trustworthiness of said client device with a predefined level of trust of said application.

At least one computer accessible medium storing instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for managing secure access to an application and data provided by the application, said operations comprising:

• detecting an attempted execution of an application on a client device;
• identifying one or more characteristics of said client device and associated user of said client device;
• determining a level of trustworthiness of said client device based on said identified characteristics of said client device and associated user;
• identifying a predefined trust level associated with said application;
• and
• comparing said level of trustworthiness of said client device with said trust level of said application and determining said client device is authorized to execute said application and access associated data based on said comparison.

A method for managing secure access to an application and data provided by the application, said method comprising:

• detecting, by a trust service module, an attempted execution of an application on a client device;
• identifying, by a device recognition module, one or more characteristics of said client device and associated user of said client device;
• determining, by a trust determination module, a level of trustworthiness of said client device based on said identified characteristics of said client device and associated user;
• identifying, by said trust service module, a predefined trust level associated with said application;
• and
• comparing, by said trust determination module, said level of trustworthiness of said client device with said trust level of said application and determining said client device is authorized to execute said application and access associated data based on said comparison.
