A user of a system defines a limited use access token for an external user for that external user to access defined resources of the system based on the user's account with the system. An access control system validates the access token when the external user attempts to access the defined resources and grants the external principal access to the defined resources.

Personal authentication and access

Techniques for secure debugging and monitoring are presented. An end user requests a secure token for logging information with a remote service. A secure monitoring and debugging token service provides the secure token. The remote service validates the secure token and configures itself for capturing information and reporting the captured information based on the secure token.

Techniques for secure debugging and monitoring

Techniques are presented for anonymous Internet access. Internet requests are intercepted within a firewalled environment before being routed over the Internet to destination sites. Each Internet requests is evaluated in view of policy and one or more anonymizers are selected in response to that evaluation. The Internet requests are then routed through the appropriate anonymizers for processing to the destination sites. A relationship between an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the firewalled environment and IP addresses of the destination sites is masked and hidden via the anonymizers from Internet observers. Moreover, a secure communication between the firewalled environment and the anonymizers is maintained.

Techniques for anonymous internet access

Techniques for secure network communication are provided. Credentials for a user along with a transparently generated secret are sent to a resource that the user desires to establish a secure communication session with. After successful authentication of the user, an initial sequence number for a first transaction of the session is set on a client of the user. Thereafter, with each transaction of the session the client supplies a new and unique sequence number to a server of the resource and uses the secret to encode and validate that transaction. The server of the resource does not permit any transaction that includes an invalid or previously used sequence number.

Techniques for secure network communication

Techniques are provided for preserving content during a network transaction. A client issues a content-bearing request to a desired service. At the time the request is issued, the client is not authenticated to the service. The content associated with the content-bearing request is preserved and associated with a modified request. The modified request and a redirection to an authentication service are sent to the client. The client authenticates and transparently sends the modified request. The modified request is used for reacquiring the content. The content-bearing request along with the content are sent to the desired service for processing.
