Claim:
1. A method, comprising: generating, by a server, a token on behalf of a resource for the resource to authenticate to a service, wherein generating further includes generating the token as a Late-Binding Token (LBT) generated in response to a request provided by the service, wherein generating further includes producing the LBT as a combination of a random number, a service identifier for the service, and a hashed code for the random number, wherein generating further includes encrypting the LBT as the token and assigning a Time-To-Live (TTL) attribute with the token; sending, by the server, the token to a device operated by the resource; subsequently receiving, by the server, the token from the device, and wherein subsequently receiving further includes obtaining separately from the device a portion of the LBT and verifying the portion as being assigned to the resource; and providing, by the server, a message to the device indicating that the resource is authenticated for access to the service upon presentation of the message to the service.
