Abstract
Techniques for authenticating network connections are provided. A client makes a request to connect to a server via a client service. The server delays the request to acquire a signature for the client service from the requesting client's environment. The signature is compared against a known and previously verified signature. When the two signatures match, the server permits the connection between the client and the service via the client service. When the two signatures do not match, the server denies the connection between the client and the server and does not permit the client service to process a request to make that connection.
