Examples for detecting a compromised device are described. A set of threat detection rules can instruct an application on the client device how to detect whether the client device is compromised. The rules can be updated dynamically and without updating the application that is performing the compromise detection. The rules can be encoded in an interpreted scripting language and executed by a runtime environment that is embedded within the application.

Dynamically updating rules for detecting compromised devices

Aspects of providing single sign on (SSO) sessions are described. An access interval key is generated using an access code as a seed to a key derivative function. The access interval key is encrypted using a public key of an SSO-enabled application to generate an encrypted access interval key for a sign on session. The sign on session is established by storing the encrypted access interval key in a memory location of an SSO session map shared by SSO-enabled applications.

Secure asymmetric key application data sharing

To extend a sign on session among applications, an inter-application workflow request can be initiated from a first to a second application. The workflow request can identify one or more memory locations in a shared memory for secure data transfer between the applications. The first application can then monitor the memory locations for the presence of a public key stored in shared memory by the second application in response to the workflow request. Once the public key is present in the shared memory, the first application can retrieve and use it to encrypt an access interval key. The encrypted access interval key can then be stored in the shared memory for retrieval by the second application. The access interval key is associated with a sign on session of the first application, and the second application can retrieve and decrypt it to extend the sign on session to the second application.

Inter-application secure data sharing workflow

To establish a sign on session among single sign on (SSO)-enabled applications, a user can be prompted by an application for an access code. An access interval key can be generated using a key derivative function based on the access code. The access interval key can be considered a session key, and it can be used during a valid SSO session to decrypt a master key stored in a shared memory. In turn, the master key can be used to encrypt and decrypt the contents of the shared memory. To securely distribute the access interval key among the SSO-enabled applications during a current session, individual SSO-enabled applications can each store a public key in the shared memory. The access interval key can then be encrypted, respectively, by the public keys of the SSO-enabled applications and stored in the shared memory to be retrieved securely by the SSO-enabled applications.
