Dynamic access control system using client-initiated ticket generation
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230370442A1) describes a method and system for managing access control in client applications. The method involves receiving a limited-use access ticket from an access control manager at a client application, including the ticket in API calls to a service application, forwarding it as a service access ticket to a ticket-based access control layer, and monitoring run-time transaction information. Upon detecting the ticket, validation is performed, and access to the protected resource is granted if the service access ticket matches the validated limited-use ticket. The system includes a memory and processor to execute these steps, ensuring secure access control.
Furthermore, the patent application details the use of randomized limited-use access tickets, transaction monitoring, and validation processes to ensure secure access control. The processor forwards the service access ticket to the ticket-based access control layer while the service application performs functions on behalf of the client application. In case of a mismatch, access to the protected resource is denied. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for executing the access control process, including validation and comparison of access tickets. Overall, the method and system outlined in the patent application aim to enhance security and control access to protected resources efficiently and effectively.
