Abstract
A network security system and method provide dynamic access control for a protected resource using a client-initiated ticket generation scheme. A client application receives, from an access control manager, a limited-use access ticket and may include the limited-use access ticket within application program interface (API) calls to a service application. The service application may forward the limited-use access ticket as a service access ticket to a ticket-based access control layer. A transaction monitor monitors run-time transaction information generated by the API calls to the service application and if the limited-use access ticket is detected in the run-time transaction information, forward the limited-use access ticket to the access control manager to perform validation of the limited-use access ticket. The ticket-based access control layer compares the service access ticket to the validated limited-use access ticket and determine whether to grant the client application access to the protected resource based on the comparison.
