Multi-factor execution gateway

A server configured to implement a multi-factor execution gateway, the server comprising:

• a communication interface configured to facilitate communication between another server hosting a target environment, one or more client devices, and the server;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the communication interface and the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• detect a request to execute a process in the target environment;
• generate a fingerprint based on one or more parameters associated with the request and adding to the generated fingerprint additional information that defines a time window and a scope of execution of the process in accordance with a risk presented by the execution of the process to safety and compliance within the target environment;
• receive a signature corresponding to the fingerprint to generate a key, wherein the signature includes data representing a private key acquired from an authorizer based on a level of authorization corresponding to the execution of the process;
• and
• allow the execution of the process at the target environment using the key, wherein the key is transmitted to the other server through the communication interface and the process is executed in response to a determination that information within the key matches a set of expected public keys and the request.

A computing device configured to implement a multi-factor execution to allow execution of a process at a target environment hosted by a server in a computing system having multiple servers, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the computing device to:
• detect a request to execute the process in the target environment;
• generate a fingerprint based on one or more parameters associated with the request and adding to the generated fingerprint additional information that defines a time window and a scope of execution of the process in accordance with a risk presented by the execution of the process to safety and compliance within the target environment;
• receive a signature corresponding to the fingerprint and generating a key based on the received signature, wherein the signature includes data representing a private key acquired from an authorizer based on a level of authorization corresponding to the execution of the process;
• and
• transmit the key to the server to allow the execution of the process at the target environment using the key.
