Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a memory operable to: store a plurality of token-based rules, wherein a token-based rule facilitates access to a risk-sensitive resource; and store a first token indicating that a user is accessing a non-risk- sensitive resource; and a processor operable to: receive a second token, the second token indicating that the user is attempting to access the risk-sensitive resource; in response to receiving the second token, apply the token-based rule to make a first access decision whereby the user's access to the non-risk-sensitive resource will be terminated; in response to making the first access decision, generate at least one token representing the access decision; communicate the at least one token representing the first access decision; and receive a third token indicating that the user's access to the non-risk sensitive resource is terminated; in response to receiving the third token, generate at least one token representing a second access decision whether the user is granted access to the risk-sensitive resource; and communicate the at least one token representing the second access decision.
