A system is provided comprising at least one processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory that, when executed, receives a first request from a client device for access to a first web service and accesses a policy associated with the first web service. The system also selects a second plurality of data elements from a first plurality of data elements based on the first request and based on the policy wherein the second plurality of data elements is associated with the first web service. The system also provides the second plurality of data elements to the client device and receives a second request from the client device for a first set of data values associated with the second plurality of data elements. The system also authenticates the second request and provides the first set of data values in response to the second request.

Transformation of extensible markup language documents for web services customization

A password generation and validation system is provided. The system comprises a server system and an at least one memory. The system also comprises a password component stored in the at least one memory that, when executed by the server system, receives a plurality of inputs, generates a first password for a computer system based on the plurality of inputs contemporaneously with receiving the plurality of inputs, receives a second password, generates at least one candidate password based on some of the plurality of inputs, and validates the second password when the second password matches the at least one candidate password.
