Abstract
When software is delivered to a customer, there are often programs or routines of programs that a software distributor intended to run under the credentials of a specific user other than the user who started the program. A secure method is proposed for software running in a process to acquire rights to issue restricted operations. A trusting entity trusts a process based on verifying ownership of code residing in the process. The trusted process is granted rights by the trusting entity to perform any or specific operations under the credentials of a specific user, not necessarily the current process user.
