Systems and methods for authentication brokering

Abstract

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: sending, by a token software development kit and to a credential broker, a request, wherein the request includes a unique identifier of a client application; receiving, at the token software development kit and from the credential broker; a response, wherein the response includes a service ticket; instantiating a token object in a memory space of the client application, wherein the token object includes the service ticket as a first attribute of the token object; instantiating a context object in the memory space of the client application, wherein the context object includes the token object as an attribute of the context object; providing the context object to the client application; and authenticating, by the client application to a service, using the context object.
