Abstract
An approach is provided for token-based authorization for a remote login using attribute-based encryption (ABE). A request from a Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) client is received for establishing a session between the SSH client and a SSH server. A message is sent from the SSH server indicating the SSH client is required to obtain an ABE token. Responsive to sending a request for creating the ABE token, creating the ABE token by a token service (TS), receiving the ABE token from the TS, and sending the ABE token to the SSH server, the ABE token is received by the SSH server from the SSH client. The SSH server determines that the ABE token can be used to successfully decrypt an encrypted blob associated with a set of attributes of the SSH server. In response, the SSH server authorizes the session and an establishment of the session is completed.
