Abstract
A monitoring service monitors performance of an authentication application that authenticates a user or service and securely communicates a status of the authentication application to a service application providing a software service. The monitoring service generates a token using a private key. The token is stored in a secure datastore writable only by the monitoring service and is also provided to the service application. The service application validates a signature of the token using a public key and determines an authenticity of the token by comparing the received token to the stored token in the secure datastore. In doing so, there is a high degree of confidence that the token, or an associated encrypted message, originated from the monitoring service and properly identifies the status of the authentication application.
