Abstract
A method and system for resource based authentication may include, in response to a client attempting to access a protected resource of a system, implementing resource based authentication. A policy agent may intercept the client access request and redirect it to an appropriate authentication gateway module based upon authentication polices. If the protected resource is not associated with any resource specific authentication technique, the policy agent may apply a default authentication technique. If, however, the protected resource is associated with a particular resource specific authentication technique, the policy agent may apply the resource specific authentication technique without applying the default authentication technique.
