Patent attributes
A policy-controlled authorization system including a local application on a client device, a policy component including a plurality of policies, and a mid-link server, coupled to the client device is provided. A request for access to a service using a token is provided by the local application. A correlator correlates the token with the plurality of tokens for identifying a policy from the plurality of policies associated with the token. A token inspector authorizes the token for accessing the service based on the correlation. Based on the authorization, either the token is authorized for access to the service via the remote application, or the token is blocked when unauthorized to prevent access to the service. Confidence scores are assigned to each token based on their categories, compliance with the policies, and a threat level. The confidence scores indicate need to re-authorize the tokens and/or disable them temporarily.
