Abstract
Mechanisms are provided to allow particular parties and applications access to protected application programming interfaces (APIs) without the use of security domains. Trusted parties and applications may have access to protected APIs while unfrosted parties and applications may be restricted to a more limited set of APIs. Public keys associated with individual applications that are used to enforce licensing policies can be repurposed for use in a verification process to prevent unauthorized access to APIs. A credential storage manager can be used to maintain permission and certificate information. An application authorization manager may access credential storage and maintain trusted application information.
