Method and system for modular authentication and session management

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a computer for providing security to cause said computer to perform operations comprising:

• generating, by said computer, random data based on authentication credentials;
• retrieving, by said computer, a timestamp;
• creating, by said computer, an incremental token identifier;
• concatenating, by said computer, said random data, said timestamp, and said incremental token identifier to create a Binary Large Object (BLOB);
• applying, by said computer, an encryption algorithm with a fixed key to said BLOB to create a session token;
• and
• issuing, by said computer, said session token to a authentication client, wherein said session token includes data indicating a manner by which said client was validated and access type information identifying characteristics of a first request.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor;
• said tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that are executable by said processor to cause said processor to perform operations comprising:
• generating, by said processor, random data based on authentication credentials;
• retrieving, by said processor, a timestamp;
• creating, by said processor, an incremental token identifier;
• concatenating, by said processor, said random data, said timestamp, and said incremental token identifier to create a Binary Large Object (BLOB);
• applying, by said processor, an encryption algorithm with a fixed key to said BLOB to create a session token;
• and
• issuing, by said processor, said session token to a authentication client, wherein said session token includes data indicating a manner by which said client was validated and access type information identifying characteristics of a first request.
