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 collecting configuration data stored across a plurality of local machines. Disclosed techniques include storing the configuration data in a rules database associated with a centrally managed authorization application. Disclosed techniques include receiving a request to access a network resource, the request comprising. Disclosed techniques include a cryptographic data element, an identification of a principal making the access request, an identifier of the network resource, and a metadata element. Disclosed techniques include creating a record of the request. Disclosed techniques include determining, through the authorization application, whether the principal is authorized to access 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 metadata element, or an application of an access policy.
