USING A LOCAL AUTHORIZATION EXTENSION TO PROVIDE ACCESS AUTHORIZATION FOR A MODULE TO ACCESS A COMPUTING SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are a method, system, and computer program product for a local authorization extension to provide access authorization for a module to access a computing system. A memory stores information on a first validity range comprising position coordinates for a module seeking to access the computing system and a second validity range comprising position coordinates for a location authorization extension for a computing system. A determination is made of a first position signal from a first receiver of the module and of a second position signal from a second receiver of the location authorization module. Determinations are made as to whether the first position signal is within the first validity range and whether the second position signal is within the second validity range. The module is granted access to the computing system in response to determining that the first position signal is within the first validity range and the second position signal is within the second validity range.

1. A method, comprising:
storing in a memory information on a first validity range comprising position coordinates for a service authorization module seeking to access a computing system; storing in the memory information on a second validity range comprising position coordinates for a location authorization extension for a computing system; determining from a first receiver of the service authorization module a first position signal; determining from a second receiver of the location authorization extension a second position signal; determining from the first position signal whether the service authorization module is within the first validity range; determining from the second position signal whether the local authorization extension is within the second validity range; and granting the service authorization module access to the computing system in response to determining that the service authorization module is within the first validity range and the local authorization extension is within the second validity range.
