The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using HyperText Transfer Protocol communication as a transport for bi-directional data streams. Embodiments of the invention facilitate passing otherwise blocked TCP communication through a firewall. Embodiments of the invention can be used to pass legitimate TCP communication through a firewall even though a firewall is configured to block the legitimate TCP communication.

The subject disclosure relates to authorization based on a determination of permissions that can be granted for an action(s) to be performed on a resource. The determination of the permission is based on a set of rules that represent a theory including a notion of trust that has been divided into different sized tables. The tables are utilized to evaluate two or more input claims and to facilitate a determination of whether access to at least one system resource is to be granted. The evaluation can include matching the two or more input claims to rows in the table, wherein access is allowed if a match is found.
