Centralized authorization for secure shell access

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments relate to non-transitory computer readable media, systems, and methods for providing centralized authorization of one or more cryptographic data elements. Disclosed techniques include receiving a request to access a network resource, the request comprising: a cryptographic data element, an identification of a principal making the access request, an identifier of the network resource, and a data element. Disclosed techniques include transmitting the request to a central authorization server. Disclosed techniques include determining if the central authorization server processes the request within a specified time. Disclosed techniques include upon determining that the central authorization server has processed the request within the specified time, determining, using a rule cache, whether the principal has access to the network resource. Disclosed techniques include transmitting a response to the request, wherein the response is based on the cryptographic data element, the identification of the principal, the identifier of the network resource, processing of the data element, and an application of an access policy.
