A method, system and computer-usable medium for performing an adaptive security operation comprising: performing an authentication operation via a first device, the authentication operation analyzing an obligation performed by a first user; establishing access to a protected resource by the first device based upon the obligation performed by the first user; generating an attribute list comprising at least one attribute of the first device; analyzing a second device to determine whether the second device comprises an attribute corresponding to the at least one attribute of the first device; and, allowing access to the protected resource by the second device when the second device comprises the attribute corresponding to the at least one attribute of the first device.

Federating devices to improve user experience with adaptive security

A computer receives a request for protected user data with an access token presented by a client as authorization for the client to access the protected user data in a delegated environment. The computer parses the request to create a device fingerprint identifying the device submitting the request for the client. The computer compares the device fingerprint of the request to a previously stored device fingerprint of an authorized device associated with the access token. The computer automatically determines whether to identify the access token as potentially misappropriated based on the comparison of the device fingerprint of the request to the previously stored device fingerprint.
