Persistable identity tokens

A computer system for authentication via persistable identity tokens, the computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code for transferring data to another computer system, the program code causing the processor to:
• request, by a task scheduler, a persistable token in exchange for a first live token;
• based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a first set of policies, receive, by the task scheduler, the persistable token;
• based at least on a trigger event, request, by the task scheduler, a second live token in exchange for the persistable token;
• based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a second set of policies, receive, by the task scheduler, the second live token;
• and
• based at least on receiving the second live token, initiate execution of a task using the second live token for authentication, wherein the execution of the task is contingent upon the authentication.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program code executable by a first computer system at a first site, the program code embodying a method comprising:

• requesting, by a task scheduler, a persistable token in exchange for a first live token, wherein requesting the persistable token in exchange for the first live token comprises identifying the task scheduler using an actor token;
• based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a first set of policies, receiving, by the task scheduler, the persistable token;
• based at least on a trigger event, requesting, by the task scheduler, a second live token in exchange for the persistable token, wherein requesting the second live token in exchange for the persistable token comprises identifying the task scheduler using an actor token;
• based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a second set of policies, receiving, by the task scheduler, the second live token;
• and
• based at least on receiving the second live token, initiating execution of a task using the second live token for authentication or authorization, wherein the execution of the task is contingent upon the authentication or authorization.
