Abstract
According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, the techniques herein are directed toward a dynamic transaction-aware web application authentication using call intercepts. In one embodiment, a method comprises: intercepting, by a monitoring process, calls made for transactions within an executing application; determining, by the monitoring process, whether a particular intercepted call triggers an enhanced user authentication requirement for a particular transaction; initiating, by the monitoring process in response to the particular intercepted call triggering the enhanced user authentication requirement, a corresponding challenge to adequately authenticate a user for the particular transaction; and allowing, by the monitoring process, the particular intercepted call to proceed for the particular transaction in response to an adequately authenticated user for the particular transaction.
