Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a network element that can be configured to determine that an application begins to execute, receive credentials for the application, where the credentials are located in an immediate field of the application, receive a request from the application to access a secure resource, and block access to the secure resource if the credentials for the application do not allow the application to access the secure resource. In an example, the credentials include a public key and a private key.
Claims20
At least one machine readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least processor to:
- receive credentials for an application, wherein the credentials are located in an immediate field of the application;
- receive a request from the application to access a secure resource;
- and
- block access to the secure resource if the credentials for the application do not allow the application to access the secure resource.
An apparatus comprising:
- an authentication engine configured to:
- receive credentials for the application, wherein the credentials are located in an immediate field of the application;
- receive a request from the application to access a secure resource;
- and
- block access to the secure resource if the credentials for the application do not allow the application to access the secure resource.
A method comprising:
- receiving credentials for the application, wherein the credentials are located in an immediate field of the application;
- receiving a request from the application to access a secure resource;
- and
- blocking access to the secure resource if the credentials for the application do not allow the application to access the secure resource.
A system for process management, the system comprising:
- an authentication engine configured to:
- receive credentials for the application, wherein the credentials are located in an immediate field of the application;
- receive a request from the application to access a secure resource;
- and
- block access to the secure resource if the credentials for the application do not allow the application to access the secure resource.
