Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and processed by one or more processors configured to perform the method, comprising: identifying an authenticated principal that has successfully logged into a system; obtaining a channel policy in response to a principal identity for the authenticated principal, the channel policy defining a secure communication channel for use during a communication session that the principal has with the system and acquiring channel parameters with the channel policy, the channel parameters include: an Internet Protocol (IP) address for use with the secure communication channel, the communication port to use with the secure communication channel, keys for use in encrypting the messages, and a time attribute defining how long the channel parameters are to remain valid; and configuring an event manager on a device of the principal with the channel policy that the event manager dynamically evaluates to monitor activities of the principal during the communication session, the event monitor dynamically pushes messages to the secure communication channel defined by the channel policy, the messages produced based on events generated by the activities of the principal.
