Abstract
The present disclosure provides protection to communications after establishing a secured connection to a secured website or application. An authentication service, after establishing a secured session, can calculate a trust score for a user. Based on the trust score, the security agent can encrypt access tokens used to authenticate a secure connection. The system can interrupt the secure connection based on the trust score of the user or the user device. The interruption takes place by ignoring requests to decrypt the access token. Without the decrypted access token, the browser is unable to authenticate the session, preventing further communications. After the user improves the security posture of the device or user, the security agent can recalculate the trust score. When the trust score is above a threshold, the security agent can being decrypting the access token, thereby authenticating communications from the browser.
